Chen Xiaobei waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, this is too expensive."
While talking, Cui Hongyu came out and greeted Feng Xiaoyue warmly.
The ancestor took the opportunity to take a bundle and said to the accounting clerk next to him, "A piece of tiger skin." Halfway through, he realized that he hadn't asked Feng Xiaoyue's name yet.
"Xiaobei, what's this girl's name?"
"I know, I know, our ancestor's name is Feng Xiaoyue." Chen Xiaowen next to him rushed to answer.
The accounting clerk next to me quickly wrote it down.
At this time, Cui Hongyu had already pulled Feng Xiaoyue into the courtyard.
Feng Xiaoyue looked at the newly built house, her eyes full of envy, "It's so beautiful. It must have taken a lot of effort to build such a house."
Cui Hongyu responded, "It was all done by the help of the craftsmen hired by me. How can I know how to do it?"
While we were talking here, there was another commotion outside. It was Mao You and He Dali from the county government office.
The two of them did not come with Hu Fan yesterday because they knew that Hou Fan was very polite everywhere, but they were very polite, so it would not be good for them to be together, so they made an appointment to come here today.
Everyone gave a little token of their free time. Chen Xiaobei left the two of them to have lunch, but the two of them wanted to leave.
When Chen Xiaobei saw this, he quickly said to his ancestors, "These two are from the county government. We cannot let them leave today under any circumstances."
The ancestor called the wheel driver and pulled him hard, Mao Youhe said with great force. But Feng Xiaoyue quickly pulled Chen Xiaobei aside.
"Brother Xiaobei, Xiaowen asked me this morning if I could give you some apples. In addition, I have to continue giving you the charcoal I told you last time. Many people are asking me for it now."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements for my marriage later."
After saying a few words, Feng Xiaoyue bowed and said goodbye, saying that there was something going on at the restaurant, so it was inconvenient for Chen Xiaobei to stay because he knew that Sihai Restaurant could not live without Feng Xiaoyue.
At this moment, a homing pigeon landed in the yard where Liu Rumei lived. Liu Rumei lived in Chen Anbang's house.
Xiao Qing took the letter from the carrier pigeon's lap and handed it to Liu Rumei respectfully, "Miss, it's from the master."
Liu Rumei opened it and saw that the letter was written by her father Liu Xiangnan.
In the letter, Liu Xiangnan proposed that the old housekeeper Liu Kai take a group of people back first.
Liu Rumei smiled after reading this, which was actually her negligence.
Logically speaking, Liu Kai should be allowed to go back after Zhu Meng escaped, even if there was no one around his father.
Thinking of this, Liu Rumei decided to go back to the county town in person. After all, Liu Kai was still relaxing at home in his county town.
In the county town, Liu Kai saw Liu Rumei coming and said hello with a smile, "As soon as the lady comes, I think it's probably time for me to get up and go back to the capital."
After hearing Liu Kai's words, Liu Rumei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "The old housekeeper is so right. I just received news from my father and I want to invite you back."
Liu Kai continued to smile, "It seems that the situation in the capital has also improved."
"Yes, the Great Earth Kingdom and the Great Forest Kingdom are going deep alone, and they are fighting for a quick victory. As long as we block their momentum, they will lose themselves without a fight as time goes by."
Liu Kai nodded approvingly, "Yes, as long as we block his momentum and surround Jizhou so that they cannot respond to each other, the matter will be easily solved."
Liu Rumei deeply agreed with Liu Kai's analysis. She believed that Liu Kai would definitely be helpful to the direction of the war after returning to the capital.
"By the way, the butler will tell Father safely when he gets back. He may not be able to go back for a while."
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Liu Kai looked serious and said, "Miss, I have watched you grow up, and there is something I can't help but want to say."
"Chen Xiaobei is just a mountaineer, and you are the daughter of the majestic Protector of the Country. After all, you are also considered a princess. The difference between your status is heaven and earth."
"The dignified daughter of the Protector of the country went to help a mountain man get a second wife. How do you think it would be appropriate for this to spread?"
Liu Rumei knew that his thoughts would not be understood by everyone, but he did this without any regrets, "Old housekeeper, there are some things you must not know. In fact, Chen Xiaobei gave me a lot before you came."
Help, including going to Wannian City to rescue my father."
"So I wanted to return a favor to him, so naturally I had to do it for him."
Liu Rumei's words still made Liu Kai sigh heavily, "There are many ways for a young lady to return favors. Why do you have to do this? You can just ask the master to reward him with more gold, silver and jewels later."
Liu Rumei smiled calmly and said, "I have my own sense of discretion on this matter. There is no need for the old housekeeper to say more."
After saying that, he clasped his fists at Liu Kai again and said, "There are still many things waiting for me in Hetou Village, so let's say goodbye to Rumei."
After saying hello to Xiaoqing, he turned around and left.
"Miss, please wait a moment, I have something else to tell you."
Liu Kai hurriedly called out to Liu Rumei, "It's time to find a way to deal with the people you imprisoned in Miss's dungeon. It's not an option to continue like this."
Liu Rumei knew that Liu Kai was talking about Sun Jian's men, but she never figured out how to deal with it, so she kept it closed.
"I'll leave the old housekeeper's matter to you with full authority. You can take him back if you want, and let him go if you want."
After saying this, he hugged Liu Kai again, turned around and left.
Seeing Liu Rumei like this, Liu Kai sighed slightly, "Oh, miss, my heart has flown to Hetou Village. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while."
After this thought, he turned to look at the manpower he brought from the capital, "In that case, we will help the young lady solve this problem and bring out all the people in the dungeon. We can bring them back to Wannian City.
This can be considered part of the rebel army."
At this time, Liu Rumei had already hit the road and returned to Hetou Village.
Hetou Village is very lively. During the day, the villagers come to help and do not go to the banquet. But it is different at night. There is nothing to do at night, so those who follow the ceremony will naturally come to the banquet.
At the banquet in the evening, Chen Xiaobei finally sat down with the villagers. They were all fellow villagers, so there were no formalities, so drinking was naturally much more casual.
After three glasses of wine, the ancestor spoke first.
"Dayong, Xiaowen and you are all descendants of our Hetou Village, and I don't shy away from what I say. This Chen Xiaobei is about to marry his second wife, but some of you haven't even married a wife yet. How can this be possible?
"
Hearing the crowd burst into laughter, the ancestor still looked serious, "Don't laugh, I'm serious. Hetou Village only has a few hundred people and a hundred households. You said, why don't you open branches quickly?"
Sanye, how long can our village last?"
With these words from the ancestor, everyone at the scene fell silent for an instant.
At this time, a middle-aged man next to him answered, "Yes, I remember that when I was a child, there were nearly 200 households in our village that could be visited. Now, in the village, there are more than a dozen abandoned houses."
