Zhang Liang's move can be regarded as a super difficult problem for the powerful people.
If left unchecked, Zhang Liang might actually have suppressed the bandits all the way back to Xichuan.
The loss would be huge.
But the Zhenyuan Army's suppression of the bandits was reasonable and no one could say anything about it.
They dare to take revenge. When the Ninth Princess comes back, they will be left without food.
For a time, the dignitaries in the room didn't know what to do.
"We can't let the Zhenyuan Army act so recklessly!" Mr. Zhou said, stroking his goatee: "Otherwise we will have offended the Ninth Princess in vain this time!"
"Of course we know we can't let the Zhenyuan Army act recklessly, but we can't take action against the Zhenyuan Army, so how can we stop them?" Fatty Xu asked, patting the table.
"We can't take action against the Zhenyuan Army, but that doesn't mean we can't take action against Jinchuan, right?"
Goatee shook his head and answered.
"Master Zhou, if you have another clever idea, please don't keep it secret and just tell me!"
The eunuch sitting in the first place couldn't help it anymore and urged him loudly.
"There is a way, but it can't be done as a family. It requires everyone's cooperation."
Mr. Zhou stroked his beard again and told his plan.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou is really resourceful, this is a great idea!"
Fatty Xu was so happy that he clapped his hands and praised him.
"Then let's do it!" The first eunuch also nodded slightly: "This matter involves the interests of everyone. No matter what difficulties we had before, our family hopes that we can put it aside now and work together to solve this matter.
Do it well!"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, we know what's going on!"
A group of powerful people gave their guarantees one after another.
Soon, homing pigeons flew out from Xichuan City and flew towards Jinchuan.
Jinchuan, Xihewan.
Guan Xiaorou didn't know that the village had been targeted by the powerful, and she was grabbing Guan Xiao'e's ears and scolding her.
"I asked you to make a fire, and you are still lazy and slippery. Believe it or not, I will send you back tomorrow?"
Jin Feng was influenced by his previous life. Even though his family is now extremely wealthy, he still does not keep any domestic slaves.
Guan Xiaorou is also a girl who grew up in a bitter environment. Before marrying Jin Feng, her biggest wish was to have a bowl of vegetable porridge every day.
The habit of frugality has been ingrained into my bones.
Runniang is not here, so she cooks by herself.
The task of lighting the fire fell on Xiao'e.
But Xiao'e is still a child, and her character has not yet been finalized.
After more than half a year of good life, I have almost forgotten the previous hardships.
She usually can't hold out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food, but she is no longer the pitiful little girl she was before.
I was playing in the yard just now and was caught by Guan Xiaorou to light a fire. Naturally, I was reluctant.
"Go back as soon as you go. The food at my brother's house is good now. My sister-in-law has given my brother four concubines. She will definitely not let me cook. If you go back, you won't have to force me to study every day!"
Xiao'e pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice.
"You think I'm willing to force you? You're impatient, and I'm annoyed too!"
Guan Xiaorou said angrily: "You are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are. Do you think girls from other families can study? If your brother-in-law hadn't been capable and made money to set up a school, you wouldn't have anywhere to go to study!"
"What's the use of making money?" Xiao'e curled her lips and said: "In the play, every eldest lady from a wealthy family has a maid. My brother-in-law is so rich that he can't even buy a maid for me, so I have to give it to you.
Cooking in a pot is the life of a poor man!"
"What did you say? Have the guts to say it again!"
Guan Xiaorou was so angry that she slapped Xiao'e twice on the back: "You still want a maid? If it weren't for your brother-in-law, no one would want you even if you were a maid yourself!
Guan Xiao'e, remember this, if it weren't for your brother-in-law, we would have died of starvation!
If you dare to say such a thing again in the future, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"Why can't you say it?" Xiao'e retorted unconvinced: "Brother-in-law said it himself, everyone has the right to freedom of speech. Brother-in-law also said that no one is perfect, omniscient and omnipotent, and what he said is not necessarily right.
!”
"What your brother-in-law said is right!" Guan Xiaorou has never read a book, so she can't compete with Xiao'e, so she simply uses her sister's authority: "I don't care about the other things, but the head of the family said that if you don't study, you will never be successful in this life, let you
If you read, you must read. If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death!”
"Then just beat me to death!" Xiao'e said sternly, holding her neck: "I won't go to school in the afternoon! I will never cook a pot for you again!"
"you you……"
Guan Xiaorou was so angry that she trembled. She turned around, took a broom, and hit Xiao'e's buttocks.
Xiao'e was also stubborn and stood there to resist.
Fortunately, Tang Dongdong came back for dinner, so when he saw this, he ran over and snatched the broom away.
"What's wrong with you two?" Tang Dongdong said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Xiao'e, what trouble have you caused again? Look at how angry your sister is!"
"Ask her!" Xiao'e cried and ran out.
"Stop!" Guan Xiaorou was so angry that she wanted to chase her, but Tang Dongdong held her back.
"Okay, stop chasing!"
Tang Dongdong winked at the female escort who was following behind, and the female escort immediately followed him out.
Tang Dongdong pulled Guan Xiaorou to sit in the yard, holding back a smile and asked: "What's wrong, why are you so angry?"
"You said she has only lived a good life for a few days? She is already complaining about the head of the household not buying her a maid!"
Guan Xiaorou wiped her tears and told what happened just now.
After hearing this, Tang Dongdong had an expression on his face that said, "Sure enough, that's true."
Guan Xiaorou's temperament is notoriously soft and she doesn't blush easily.
When Tang Dongdong saw how angry she was, he knew that today's incident was probably related to Jin Feng.
Now I understand, it was Xiao'e who said bad things about Jin Feng.
In Guan Xiaorou's heart, Jin Feng is a person of faith. Anyone who dares to say bad things about Jin Feng will be treated with her.
"Dongdong, do you think she is a white-eyed wolf? If it weren't for the head of the family, she would have starved to death long ago, and now she is blaming the head of the family!"
Guan Xiaorou said angrily: "You shouldn't have stopped me just now, because I didn't throw her into the mountains to starve for a few days and let her reflect on it!"
"Xiao'e is still a child, why should I compete with her?"
Tang Dongdong wiped Guan Xiaorou's tears and consoled her: "Besides, Xiao'e usually likes Brother Feng so much and wishes to be in Brother Feng's arms every day. She must have said this out of sheer urgency today."
"If it weren't for this, I would have driven her away long ago!"
"Okay, I'll talk to Xiao'e when I come back tonight and let her write a self-criticism. Is that okay?"
Tang Dongdong pulled Guan Xiaorou up: "Let's go, I'll light the fire for you. I've been busy all morning and I'm starving to death!"
"Oh, by the way, I'll cook for you!"
Guan Xiaorou then remembered that she hadn't cooked yet and quickly turned around and went to the kitchen.
Tang Dongdong followed with a smile, picked up her skirt, sat on a small stool, and stuffed a handful of dry firewood into the stove.
Just as he was about to comfort Guan Xiaorou a few more words, Xiaoyu walked in quickly: "Sister-in-law, Director Tang, something happened in Guangyuan!"
