Taming the villain little fox (wearing a book)

As soon as autumn enters the north, it becomes cool.

Rhubarb was in a good mood, and he ran happily as soon as he left Yuguan Town - Rhubarb is the nickname given to the mule by Xiao Shitou.

There was no one on the road, so Wei Yan let go of the rein and let it run.

She herself took a copy of "Duanshan Chronicle", glanced at it from time to time, memorized the unfamiliar traditional characters in it, and studied the place where Qin lived.

——It's the fox who always wants to steal the chicken. Wei Yan is really worried about Qin Zai, so the plan to go to the provincial capital should also start to work.

After running for about a cup of tea, there were pedestrians in front of him, so Wei Yan pulled the reins to slow down Rhubarb's speed.

"Is it... Sanya?" A familiar voice asked tentatively.

Wei Yan lifted up the bamboo hat, took a closer look, and saw Xu Fei sitting in the back of the car wearing a moon-white gown, the surprise in his eyes was obvious, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's my cousin, are you going to the city too?"

"Drive." She urged Da Huang to walk a few steps quickly, keeping a distance of more than ten feet from the Xu family's mule cart.

"It's really you!" Xu Fei was really surprised, "If you didn't think your car looked familiar, I wouldn't have recognized it. Others have sunburned all summer, why are you still white?" Not only white, but also beautiful, although Not as graceful and refined as Wei Lan, but generous and clear, full of vigor.

Wei Yan was proud but didn't show it on her face, and said: "Because I'm afraid of getting darker, I wear a bamboo hat and a face scarf every day to cover my whites. Is my cousin going to the county too?"

"That's right, your cousin is going to study in the provincial capital, uncle went to lead the way." Xu Hailin, who was driving the car, turned his head and said very excitedly.

"It turned out to be Uncle." Xu Hailin's back looked even fatter, and Wei Yan couldn't connect him with the talented Xu Fei, so he didn't see it for a while, "Congratulations Uncle, cousin is going to soar into the sky! .”

"Haha..." Xu Hailin laughed loudly, "Not bad, not bad, my eldest niece is promising, and she knows how to use idioms."

Wei Yan said a few words modestly, and said again: "Uncle, when are you going to leave, why don't you take me with you, I will pay for the travel expenses myself."

Xu Fei raised his eyebrows, "You are going to the provincial capital, what are you doing?"

Wei Yan paused, and found a more appropriate excuse, "I heard that there are many and fat crabs coming from the port of the provincial capital. It will be a good time to produce crabs in two days. I want to go and have a look." There is a port along the coast, and the size of Duanshan Mountain is no worse than that of Dayan Mountain. There is no delay in hunting or dumping seafood. It is just right to move to Duanshan Academy.

Xu Fei smiled and said, "Cousin has opened her eyes. Indeed, Lushan Port, the provincial capital, is the largest port in the north. There are many ships and seafood."

"This..." Xu Hailin opened his mouth after deliberation, "Sanya, you are only twelve, and you are too young, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, let alone your mother, even an uncle like me is not at ease. Nah."

Wei Yan nodded in her heart. Although Xu Hailin was a bit powerful, she still looked like an uncle.

She said sternly: "It doesn't matter, if it's easy to do, it's not impossible for the family to move there. Where can we not have a meal? At that time, my father can also go to Duanshan Academy to study."

Xu Hailin was taken aback, and thought, how much money did this girl earn, how dare she move to the provincial capital?Is it so profitable to sell seafood? Even Yuguan Town tied the boat, so I dare not say go to the provincial capital to settle down. He joked with a smile: "You girl speaks crazy words, it's not good for people to hear. Little girl, don't worry. Be safe, don't be too wild."

Xu Fei shook his head in disapproval. The provincial capital has a lot of people and the business is relatively easy to do. If Wei Yan can afford it, this is a pretty good idea.

He saw the cover of the book in Wei Yan's hand sharply, and was taken aback, then said: "Father, they are all seafood sellers, it's the same everywhere. In my opinion, our Sanya is not only not crazy, but also has a long-term vision." .” Since Wei Yan already has plans, it is very inappropriate for his father to say that.

"Hmm..." Xu Hailin is used to flattery, and he also thinks highly of his son, so he changed his tune when he heard Xu Fei say that, "It's not bad, it's because you young people are energetic, uncle is getting old. "

Wei Yan smiled and said: "Uncle is not old, it is true that we are young and energetic. When are you leaving?"

Xu Fei said: "The day after tomorrow, even if we don't meet you, we plan to go to Yuguan Town tomorrow and tell my aunt and uncle."

"Oh..." Wei Yan was thoughtful, but there was still time, but unfortunately he didn't bring his household registration, otherwise he would have led the way together.

……

The two cars entered the city one after the other, and rushed to the county government office together.

Because Wei Yan wanted to see the magistrate's wife, Xu Hailin couldn't follow her, so she wanted Xu Fei to accompany her, but Xu Fei flatly refused.

Wei Yan knocked on the side door of the county government.

This time, the one waiting at the back door was not the woman she was acquainted with before, so Wei Yan was able to enter after a lot of talking.

She was invited into the previous Xiaoxuan Hall again, and after a short wait, Mrs. Liao came.

As soon as Liao entered the door, she sniffed first, and said, "Why is there a fishy smell in the room?"

Wei Yan squatted down with a smile and saluted, pointed to the basket next to the seat and said, "The mantis shrimp is fat, and the girl will bring you some to taste."

Liao walked over in small steps, lifted a few willow leaves covering it, and saw a big basket of fresh mantis shrimps, and smiled from ear to ear, "Little girl, I like to eat this if you have a heart." Take a bite, wash it and steam it in a pot, the taste is delicious... Hey, look at me, I was busy thinking about the food, and then I saw the little girl's face, why are you so beautiful!"

Wei Yan was praised for the second time, not to mention how beautiful she is, but she still said modestly: "One white covers all ugliness, the folk girl is just a little whiter."

Liao shook her head, "I like to draw, and I observe more meticulously than others. The little girl is really beautiful, her facial features are much softer, and the girl has changed in her eighteenth year. The more she changes, the more beautiful she is. What I said is true. Girl, hurry up Tell me, how did you cover up your whites?" This summer, she went to the beach several times, her face was tanned a lot, and she was worried about how to get back white.

"The girl of the people is..."

The two discussed the whitening sutra in full swing.

It wasn't until a maidservant came to report that the old lady of the Xue family had sent her niece and daughter-in-law over, that Liao finally stopped talking and asked the maidservant to open the embroidery work brought by Wei Yan.

"Okay, haha..." Liao laughed heartily, "This is my painting, it is not bad at all, the color matching is accurate, the needlework is smooth, and the pine and crane are vivid. Even the embroiderers in the palace may not be able to achieve this. The quality is great, really great."

Liao couldn't put it down, looking left and right was not enough.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and another maid came outside and said, "Madam, the Xue family..."

"It's just a merchant's woman, let her wait." Liao's eyes still did not leave the embroidery, but there was a bit of chill in his tone.

Wei Yan sat on the sidelines carefully, thinking, Liao seems to be easy-going, but she just doesn't show her edge, no wonder she would do such extreme things after Master Zhou passed away.

In Li County, Xue Baowen's family is the only family with a head and a face surnamed Xue.The old lady of the Xue family is a four-rank respectful person, much higher than the county magistrate's wife, the Liao family.

But Mrs. Liao is the first daughter of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, so how can Mrs. Xue compare her confidence?

She let the visitor hang out for half an hour before letting the maid bring three hundred silver bills and a plain silver crown.

Liao stood up, "Little girl looks good, this silver crown is the most suitable, I give it to you."

Wei Yan hastily declined and said: "Ma'am, this can't be forced, you won't be rewarded for nothing, daughter of the people..."

"It's meritorious, and it's a great merit." Liao tapped the embroidery with her index finger, and the smile on her face became wider, "Take it, don't call me your wife when we meet next time, just call me Sister Liao. The light of the girl, I am also a few years younger."

……

After leaving the county government office, Wei Yan considered that going to the provincial capital might cost a lot, so she bought another batch of fruits from the space grocery store, disguised herself and transported them to Quanfulou.

There are a lot of fruits in this season, Wei Yan didn't ask for more, and after earning 100 taels of silver, he stopped and went home.

After dinner in the evening, Wei Yan shared his thoughts with Wei Ge and his wife.

To her surprise, the couple just discussed and agreed - they felt that the girl was reliable in her work, not to mention her skills, and she was not married anyway, so there was nothing wrong with going out to learn more while she was still young .

Wei Yan was very happy in her heart, and continued to proceed tentatively: "Father and mother, it is only the first step for me to visit the provincial capital. If you agree, I will buy a small house near Lushan Island, and our whole family will move there. .”

It was not difficult for the whole family to move in the Dashun Dynasty. As long as they bought fixed land or real estate and issued a certificate of cancellation of the original household registration, they could settle down.

Weige and Xu were taken aback, Qiqi asked, "Moving?"

Wei Yan nodded.

Weige said displeasedly: "Nonsense! Is it so easy to move? The housing prices in the provincial capital are high, the land price is high, and the food is also expensive. The repair of the small stone alone costs twelve taels a year, plus the rent money, There is no two or thirty taels in a year that cannot survive.”

Mrs. Xu also said: "What your father said is that we have no house or land, and we have to buy everything to eat. I'm afraid I'll go there by force, and I can't live comfortably here, so we can't go."

With more than a hundred taels of silver in her hand, she is considered a wealthy household in Yuguan Town, but she is nothing in the provincial capital.A disaster, a sickness, no relatives nearby who can help, absolutely not.

"The provincial capital is very big, right?" Xiao Shitou was a little yearning when he heard what they were talking about, "Sister, take me there."

Wei Yan stroked Xiao Shitou's soft hair, and wanted to say again: "Father, it's not in the provincial capital, it's..."

"Needless to say, moving house is a major event, not something that can be accomplished by just touching your upper and lower lips. You should carefully prepare the salute when you go out, bring enough money, and eat, have fun, and live well on the way." Weige got up and was about to enter the house.

Wei Yan raised her eyebrows, took out the prepared 600 taels of silver bills, spread them on the table one by one, and said with a smile: "Father, mother, we can't afford to buy a house in the city, but in Lushan Island and Duan It’s no problem to buy near the Mountain Academy, hunting and selling seafood, both of which can’t be delayed, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still live a good life, right?”

Weige was stunned, and then rubbed his eyes. He knew that his daughter was capable, but so many... Isn't this a dream?

Mrs. Xu was also a little dazed, so she hugged a few banknotes, picked one up and studied it carefully against the candlelight, and found that it was indeed true.

She calmed down and said, "Father, I don't think he can't move it. Otherwise, you'd have the cheek to take advantage of your daughter and go to the academy to study hard?"

Weige sat down slowly, and said in a deep thought: "I heard that the houses near Duanshan Academy are very expensive, but with this money, even if you can't afford it, you can rent it."

At that time, Wei Yan will continue to make seafood, and Xu's will do embroidery, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Money is persuasion, Xu and Wei Ge turned against each other at the same time, saying: Wei Yan will go to the front first, make arrangements, and discuss after returning.
