Qiao Huaping pulled Sun Shike and said "Don't worry" with a smile, and then whispered a few words in Sun Shike's ear. Sun Shike's expression slowly became unbelievable: "Really or not?"
Qiao Huaping nodded.
Sun Shike was still a little doubtful, but Qiao Huaping's expression was calm and her eyes were smiling, which strangely calmed her down.
Sun Shike also smiled at the end: "Since Sister Qiao said so, I will just wait for the good news."
Qiao Huaping patted Sun Shike's hand gently and said with a smile, "I want to thank you even more."
Sun Shike blushed and looked up at Qiao Huaping, shyly.
"What are you doing?"
A voice sounded like thunder.
Sun Shike was frightened, and subconsciously took his hand out of Qiao Huaping's hand. He looked at the source of the sound in fright, and saw a man with a green beard like a halberd, standing at the corner of the corridor in the courtyard behind him, wearing a military commander's round collar.
Pretend, a pair of eyes are looking towards this side full of displeasure.
Sun Shike's face turned a little red, he bowed his head and saluted, and said calmly: "I've seen Lord Guard."
Qiao Huaping understood. It turned out that this was Sun Shike's fiancé, Zhu Shoubei, a native of Yixiang.
She followed and saluted: "I have met Lord Guard."
Qiao Huaping could feel that the defense officer's eyes were shifting towards him, full of scrutiny and displeasure.
Qiao Huaping was a little helpless. She was also a woman. Could it be that she couldn't even hold Sun Shike's hand?
She maintained her saluting posture and did not move, letting Zhu Shoubei look at her.
At this moment, a delicate voice was heard saying: "Sir, you are so careless. Miss Sun is still there saluting, and you don't let Miss Sun get up."
There was a hint of displeasure in Zhu Shoubei's voice: "Why are you still saluting? You and I are about to get married, why are you so polite."
His attention was obviously focused on Sun Shike and no longer cared about Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Huaping also took advantage of the opportunity to straighten up and glanced at Zhu Shoubei.
The woman who just spoke was a woman next to Zhu Shoubei.
Sun Shike lowered her face, still a little red.
She whispered a few words to Zhu Shoubei, and then Zhu Shoubei said: "I have something to do with your uncle. If you need anything, just ask someone to talk to me."
After saying this, he left.
Qiao Huaping saw Zhu Shoubei leaving with the woman beside him.
It wasn't until Zhu Shoubei's figure disappeared around the corner that Sun Shike breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Qiao Huaping looking at her, she blushed with embarrassment and explained: "...Sister Qiao, Lord Shoubei is that person."
He has a rough temperament, but he doesn't mean to be harsh."
Qiao Huaping nodded, but seeing the blush on Sun Shike's face, he still couldn't help asking: "...Who was the woman next to Zhu Shoubei just now?"
"Oh, you mean Xue Yun." A hint of awkwardness flashed across Sun Shike's face, but soon she calmly said to Qiao Huaping, "That's the maid serving at Lord Guard's side."
Qiao Huaping frowned slightly: "But she wears her hair like a woman..."
Sun Shike's face suddenly turned red again, and she was speechless.
Mo Qian and Sun Shike had an extraordinary friendship, and whispered: "...it's the maid from the eldest brother's house. She said she was waiting for our young lady to come in and offer tea to my aunt."
Qiao Huaping understood.
But she couldn't help but frown a little and looked at Sun Shike.
Zhu Shoubei was about to get married, and he even brought his maid with him to show off.
Looking at the tone and gesture of the maid in charge, she doesn't seem to be someone who is easy to get along with.
However, when Qiao Huaping looked at Sun Shike, apart from being a little shy and uncomfortable, she didn't seem to be overly disgusted with Xue Yun's presence.
I think so, in this era, it is common for these wealthy families to have a common roommate, a concubine, or something like that.
Qiao Huaping didn't say anything, but couldn't help but think, luckily she is a widow whose man died!
It happened that someone was looking for Qiao Huaping at this moment. Qiao Huaping said something to Sun Shike and went back.
At this moment, three groups of people in the lobby have arrived.
The latest ones to arrive were the people from Qinglanba.
The people who came from Qinglanba were all elderly and had some injuries on their bodies, but none of the young adults had any.
Qiao Huaping remembered the news he had found out earlier - along the way to Qinglanba's escape from the famine, he encountered bandits, bandits, and refugees who were robbing food. It could be said that he had narrowly escaped death and came to this town.
I heard that most of the young adults in Qinglanba died.
When I saw it today, it was quite disappointing.
Qiao Huaping looked away.
The county magistrate did not show up today. Qiao Huaping knew that he should have gone to discuss matters with Zhu Shoubei.
The person responsible for presiding over the overall situation is Master Qianliang.
Master Qianliang coughed and slightly increased his voice: "Is everyone here?"
People from Liujin Village, Fangjiabao, and Qinglanba all responded.
Master Qianliang nodded: "Okay, then let's start dividing the land."
Master Qianliang pretended to be an official, and finally said: "...Based on the situation of each village, the land north of Zhenhe, to Yuyue Mountain in the east, and to Shaoniugouzi in the west will be allocated to Qinglanba.
"
There was no expression on Qiao Huaping's face.
This land is a river valley where life is convenient, but the land is not very fertile.
The people in Qinglanba seemed a little confused. One of them asked cautiously: "Master, there are still about 300 people in our village. Is that enough?"
This clearly shows no knowledge of that area.
Master Qian Liang waved his hand: "Why is it not enough? That piece of land used to house more than a thousand people! Is it enough to feed you three hundred people?"
The people in Qinglanba fell silent.
When they first set foot on the deserted road, it was a large village with a population of nearly a thousand.
Master Qianliang couldn't bear to say anything to the people in Qinglanba, so he loudly said: "...allocate a piece of Xiyuan Mountain to the north, all the way to Licang Mountain, and give it to Fangjiabao."
Everyone in Fangjiabao cheered.
Needless to say, the remaining large tracts of barren mountains were allocated to Liujin Village.
Master Qianliang probably also knew that this was unreasonable. He coughed and said to the people of Tongliujin Village: "...You have got the largest piece of land. The mountains are endless, and the trees and firewood in it are called a fetch."
Inexhaustible. If there is any famine, the beasts inside will be enough to survive for a while!"
This is obviously trying to fool the people of Liujin Village.
The people in Liujin Village remained silent.
Master Qianliang thought that the matter was settled. Just as he was about to say a few concluding remarks, the woman from Liujin Village raised her eyelids and said, "Isn't this right?"
Master Qianliang's temples twitched, and he decided to take a preemptive strike, assuming a questioning tone.
"Who are you?!...What's wrong? Why is it wrong?!"
Qiao Huaping stepped out from the crowd and hugged Master Qianliang: "Master, I am from Liujin Village. I see you have some questions about your land allocation, so I want to ask a few more questions."
