"Why does the boss want us to stare at my sister-in-law? I think my sister-in-law is pretty good." Deng Yong said.
Deng Zhong rolled his eyes at her: "Don't you think our sister-in-law seems to be a different person? The boss wants us to stare at her. There must be his reasons. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Deng Yong choked, and the two of them went directly to Qingshi Town without saying anything.
That day, Lu Zhi asked them to keep an eye on his sister-in-law. Now, it was time to talk to the boss about this matter.
Qingshi Town was very lively today, and a lot of people gathered around it as soon as we passed by.
When the two brothers passed by, Lu Zhi was still knitting straw sandals in the courtyard. Deng Yong was puzzled: "Boss, your legs and feet are healed, why are you still doing this work?"
Before Lu Zhi could reply, Lin Yueniang's voice came from outside. Lin Yueniang was seen coming from outside carrying a big black chicken in one hand and fresh angelica in the other.
"Mother-in-law is here." Lu Zhi didn't know if she heard Deng Yong's words clearly. He just turned back and gave Deng Yong a warning look, then walked forward with his crutch.
"Sanlang, look what I bought here? These angelicas are all fresh!" Lin Yueniang said happily, then she saw the Deng brothers, and she couldn't help being surprised, "Ah, there are still guests at Sanlang's house.
."
"Brothers who were in the escort agency before." Lu Zhi explained with a smile.
Lin Yueniang thought about the scene that day when he carried his daughter away with a cane. She thought that he felt that his legs and feet were healed and was ready to go to the escort agency, so she didn't ask any questions.
She gave him the black chicken and fresh angelica in her hand, and Lin Yueniang said in a low voice to him: "Sanlang, this stewed black chicken with angelica is very tonic. You can go back and supervise Sister Nian to stew it and drink it. In the future, if your legs and feet are good,
Quan, if we really go back to the escort agency, I'm afraid I won't be free for a while, so why not take advantage of the fact that I still have time to get things done between you and Sister Nian."
At first, Lu Zhi couldn't understand what Lin Yueniang meant. It wasn't until he saw Lin Yueniang winking at her that he finally understood what she meant, and then there was a hint of discomfort on his face.
But when he thought about Li Tannian's desire to make peace with him, the uneasiness froze on his face again.
Is it a good thing? For her, this is not a good thing. She doesn't want to do anything with him, let alone do something else with him.
Lu Zhi curled his fingers slightly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When Lin Yueniang saw that he was silent, she just thought that her son-in-law was busy with business now, and it was somewhat inappropriate to say this in front of people who worked with him.
Simply, she didn't say much, and just reminded: "Sanlang, you must remember clearly, you must watch Sister Nian and drink."
"Okay." Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and sent Lin Yueniang out calmly.
When he came back again, he heard Deng Yong say with curiosity: "What good thing? Boss, you didn't tell us what good thing you have done."
Lu Zhi kept a straight face, fearing that Li Tannian would come back suddenly and hear Deng Yong's loud voice saying something he shouldn't have said, so he just said: "Come with me." To be careful, Lu Zhi led them back to the room.
Not only was the small room extremely tidy, but there was also a woman's dress on the bed.
The two dark-faced men seemed to have seen something strange, staring straight at the skirt.
Lu Zhi coughed dryly with a straight face, and the two big men just came to their senses with angry expressions on their faces.
"Boss, did you sleep with her?"
"Yes, boss, you still have a feminine scent in this house."
Lu Zhi glanced at them coldly, then glanced at the door. After making sure that she would not come over, he said, "Don't let your sisters-in-law know about my good legs."
The Deng brothers looked at each other. It's a good thing that the elder brother's legs and feet are getting better. Why can't the elder sister-in-law know?
"Tell me." Lu Zhi looked at them and spoke directly.
The Deng brothers told Lu Zhi everything they saw and what they had investigated.
After Lu Zhi listened, her thick black brows became more and more frowned. She did not buy goods from other merchants. She sold goods when she entered the county every day, and came back directly after selling the goods. Where did the grapes come from?
Coming?
Suddenly he thought of the stick she had conjured out of thin air that day when she arrested Sifeng and Huang Laowu. Could it be that she also conjured grapes out of thin air.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Deng Yong asked again.
"Don't say these words to the second person." Lu Zhi said solemnly. After suppressing many thoughts, he made up his mind. No matter whether she was a human or a fairy, he would keep these secrets for her.
The Deng brothers didn't quite understand, so they heard him say: "In the next few days, there will be escorts from several nearby counties. You guys will help her take the goods to other counties to sell. You can't let her know that I know about it."
Don't ask any more about these things. Just say that there are customers who want goods, and we know the people in Caobang. When the time comes, we can also ask the people in Caobang to sell some goods."
"Why can't you let your sister-in-law know?" Deng Yong looked puzzled, and was hit on the back of the head by Deng Zhong, "You are so heartless, why do you ask so many questions? Just do what the boss told you!"
Li Tannian didn't know what happened in this courtyard.
When she came back at noon, she saw Lu Zhi cleaning angelica. She didn't ask much at that time. It wasn't until midday when she took the newly cut grass and threw it into the pig pen that she saw the black chicken.
Lu Zhi noticed her movements when she walked to the edge of the circle. Seeing her stunned, he said directly: "It's the black chicken sent by my mother-in-law."
"You're so good, why are you sending black chickens here?" Li Tannian was puzzled.
She had been busy with the grape business these past two days, so she didn't go to Lin Yueniang's place much, and she didn't know if Uncle Dong Shui and his family had finished building their new house.
Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and thought about Lin Yueniang's words, pursed his lips, and before he could speak, he heard the sound of a gong being struck outside!
There was no communication equipment in this era. Generally, when something important happened in the village, the gong would be beaten and the villagers would gather at the entrance of the village.
So, when the sound sounded, everyone in the village ran to the entrance of the village in unison.
Lu Zhi frowned and was about to walk out quickly when he noticed Li Tannian's gaze and quickly picked up his crutch and walked out.
Li Tannian saw his serious expression and felt strange. Xiao Taohong ran over again and said uneasily: "I heard that there are people coming from the camp. Sister Nian, do you think they will go into the village to recruit young men again?"
When Li Tannian heard this, he suddenly remembered that Lu Zhi became the King of Zhenbei by virtue of his military exploits.
He glanced at Lu Zhi subconsciously and realized that he had already gone out.
