Chapter 561: catch up
Mrs. Qiu was also nervous, "Fortunately, you have a lot of people with you. When you return home with gifts next year, you still have to entrust the security bureau to send more people."
The only elder brother is in the capital. She has no close people in Liaodong, and she doesn't need any relatives.
Pei Xiu nodded, she also knew that the gangsters couldn't be suppressed. After all, Liaodong was close to the border. In the past, the Liaodong King was intimidated. Now that the Liaodong King succeeds, the gangsters in the Liaodong area are somewhat revived.
"See you next year."
If it's not safe, she'll just send money. She won't send anything from the capital, she'll be quick, she doesn't bring any goods, and the bandits who can't see her worth are too lazy to stop her, so she can go and return quickly.
After a few gossips, Mrs. Qiu said to her with a gossip face: "Have you heard that the third young lady of the Marquis of Xinwu's mansion is about to kiss her, and she is talking about the youngest son of Marquis Zhongyi."
Pei Xiu looked at her with a bewildered expression, and said kiss, was there any twists and turns in it?
"Haven't you heard of the virtues of the youngest son of the Marquis of Zhongyi? The playboy, who spends all day searching for flowers and asking willows, his body is about to be hollowed out at such a young age. I didn't expect Miss Liu San to marry such a person."
She hurriedly asked, "Didn't Miss Liu San covet her grandson with Miss Liu Er before? The position of Concubine Grandson has not yet been determined, and the Marquis of Xinwu is willing to marry her off?"
When the housekeeper answered in the morning, he didn't mention it!
"Didn't you enter the city with Taisun yesterday? I heard that it happened yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, Taisun escorted Mrs. Xinwuhou to burn incense outside the city, and I don't know what happened. After returning, Mrs. Zhongyihou was in a hurry. When I came to the Marquis of Wu Mansion, it was announced early this morning that Miss Liu San was going to marry the fourth son of the Marquis of Zhongyi."
Sure enough, the eyes of the upper echelons of the capital were fixed on the prince, and the grandson's every move fell into the eyes of everyone.
No wonder Mrs. Qiu knew early on that they had entered the city yesterday.
No wonder when he met Taisun yesterday, his face was ugly, and he didn't see anyone in the Marquis of Xinwu Mansion beside him except the guards.
In her mind, the third young lady of the Marquis of Xinwu designed the grandson, but was taken advantage of by the fourth young master of the Marquis of Loyalty, and then she was caught in the bed and did not marry.
Seeing Pei Xiu's reaction, Mrs. Qiu knew that she was also making up her mind, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the concubine Taisun is about to be selected, I think the third lady is designed. After all, the second lady seems to have a lot of scheming. It is impossible for two young ladies to enter the East Palace in the mansion."
Pei Xiu also felt that what Mrs. Qiu said was reasonable.
"This is just a guess by us. This kind of scandal, the two must be covering up tightly. These three young ladies are out of the game, and Taisun Concubine will not necessarily fall on the second young lady's head. There are many famous ladies in the capital, and Donggong doesn't have a cold on Xinwuhou Mansion."
After several times of crooked brains, Donggong probably became very tired of it, but it was only because of the Queen's face that he tolerated it again and again.
Mrs. Qiu shrugged, "That's none of our business. We don't have any girls of the right age at home, we just watch the fun."
"I heard the butler's report this morning, and I feel that the capital has been quite calm for the past six months."
"No, after the army returned, it was silent. After all, there was no need for military generals. Next, it was the turn of the civilian officials to come on stage to clean up the mess. There are many vacancies in various places, and the civilian officials are not afraid of waiting. The court has also been busy with new seeds. It was not until after the autumn harvest that the granaries in various places reported the newly harvested taxes and good seeds, and all parties became active again.”
"You don't know that after the big bosses in the capital have tasted the sweetness of high yields, they all send people to the surrounding towns to harvest high-quality seeds at high prices."
Pei Xiu said in disapproval: "Why do you want to compete with the people for profit? Planting for another year, the number will be more in the coming year, and it will be doubled several times, and it will be worthless by then."
"How do you know that they harvested it from the common people and planted it by themselves, instead of selling it to Jiangnan at a high price? Jiangnan is not yet popular, and it is very rich."
It is!
"You sent people to the countryside to collect them?"
Mrs. Qiu rolled her eyes, "Where do I harvest it? I can't afford to sell the land in the capital. I bought a few pieces of land scattered here and there, and I can barely supply the mansion. And our family can't compete for those noble palaces."
really!
"These seeds are better than nothing for us, and we eat them occasionally to change our taste, but for the common people, they can really improve their lives."
Natural disasters are catastrophic and cannot be prevented. During the famine years, it is not uncommon for children to eat and eat. With these new crops, the country can also be more stable.
"Who said no? Don't tell me, these three things taste really good when cooked, our family likes to eat that potato. Put some pickles marinated by our own cook to boil potato soup, it tastes so good, There are also shredded potatoes, my husband likes fried pork with potatoes. If we hadn’t kept it for seeds, we could eat it every day.”
Pei Xiu was also a little greedy. She also wanted to eat potato and pickle soup, roasted sweet potatoes, and boiled corn, but she hadn't eaten it for two years.
"We just came back and haven't eaten it yet. I went to the kitchen to bake a few sweet potatoes and delivered them. The corn is probably dried and ready to be threshed. This year, we won't be able to eat it~ Mrs. Qiu laughed." Then I'll just wait for the autumn wind, I'm reluctant to eat my own, and eat yours. "
"Madam, Madam Yang is here!" The servant trotted to report again, interrupting their conversation.
"Oh? Please!" Pei Xiu said with a smile, "I didn't expect Madam Yang to be very fast."
Mrs. Qiu jokingly said, "She came here after hearing the news. If you didn't say anything about the food, she didn't come. As soon as you said roasted sweet potatoes, she arrived immediately."
"What about roasted sweet potatoes? What are you talking about me?"
If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.
Madam Yang glared at Madam Qiu as soon as she came in.
"Did you hear that before she even came in, she asked about roasted sweet potatoes?"
Pei Xiu also laughed, "Is this someone who doesn't care about me, is thinking about my sweet potatoes? The family is reluctant to eat it?"
Although Mrs. Yang didn't know what they were laughing at, she didn't prevent her from answering, "No, I have harvested those in total, only enough for the next year's crops, where are we willing to spend it, it's okay to try a few early adopters. "
"What did you just say about roasted sweet potatoes? I heard it from a distance. I haven't eaten roasted sweet potatoes yet? Shouldn't Mrs. Zhou show her friendship with the landlord?"
"I know that I'm back, so I came to robbery on purpose? You guys will have a few meals later, and you'll pay me back next year."
Mrs. Yang giggled, "Stingy, you have to keep accounts for eating your sweet potatoes. When General Zhou returns, I have to tell him that his wife will be more diligent and thrifty!"
"That is!"
Pei Xiu also laughed. It was rare to have two friends who could talk to each other in this time and space. She was also very happy to see Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Yang as soon as she came back.
