Chapter 79 Gaojiacun City that almost started a fight
Chai Jin was not blind. When Xie Zhen was delivering the medicine, he saw Xie Yuchuan’s eyes looking over. There was a trace of inquiry in the other person’s eyes. He also wanted to know that their father and son Xie Yuchuan must have been aware of their actions, but the other party didn't say anything and actually asked the second sister Xie Zhen to come over.
Chai Jin briefly talked about this matter with Mrs. Chai. Mrs. Chai had just taken the medicine and it was still early to take effect. From time to time she would still cover her mouth with a handkerchief and cough lightly.
After listening, she felt a lot more favorable towards the Xie family.
“It’s no wonder that the Xie family has produced many talents and prospered over the years. Regardless of the sons and daughters of the Xie family who have gained fame outside, I think the female relatives of the Xie family at home are no better than those raised by other families. My daughter's house is different."
"Mother Wang, give me two candied fruits."
The sweetness in her mouth made Mrs. Chai's discomfort subside a lot. Her eyes were gentle and she said: "Just now. When Miss Xie came in, she saw me coughing from time to time, but her expression didn't change at all. She took it indifferently. Even when she got closer, she also chose a just right place there, not too far away to make me feel uncomfortable. He is disliked by others and does not feel burdened by being too close. He is really a decent person with a measured heart." As if remembering something, he suddenly said mockingly, "I heard the rumors a few years ago and misunderstood him. "
She asked her son, "I heard that Miss Xie came to her mother's house for exile this time? "
The matter of Xie Zhen is not a secret among the exile team. It's just that Mrs. Chai has been feeling uncomfortable and has no interest in the people around her. Fangcai is feeling better now because she encounters something strange.
Chai Jin simply said it, Mrs. Chai snorted coldly: "The world is really ridiculous. What kind of identity is Zhuang Tanhua? How many benefits has he benefited from the Yue family all the way up, and he has no idea? The current situation is like this, with the He is extremely talented, and he is a proud son of heaven. Without the blessing of the Xie family's numerous military exploits, a few people in the court can think highly of him. Now that he has joined the Eastern Palace, and if he divorces his wife when he sees the decline of the Xie family, he will definitely not have much potential in the future. Just people.”
Mother Wang handed her another candied fruit.
"Second Miss Xie is actually admirable for her open-mindedness and open-mindedness."
Chai Jin waited on his mother without expressing any opinions.
Mrs. Chai took a deep look at her son and sighed.
Chai Jin Zhanger, a monk, was confused and came out of the room, not even thinking about what his mother's last sigh meant.
It’s bright outside.
After breakfast, the prisoners had already learned in advance that they could buy and barter with the villagers. Some were happy, some were angry, and there were all kinds of complaints in the team.
After eating in exile for many days, I really miss the old days. It was not uncommon to throw away the delicacies after a few bites, but now a bowl of hot wild vegetable soup can make people burst into tears.
Even though I have some private money, I don’t dare to waste it. No one knows what difficulties will come along the way, so I always have to keep some money aside.
The mentality in Gaojiacun is different.
Except for Li Zheng and others who had other plans in mind, the other ordinary villagers had already brought the things they had prepared in advance in baskets and trucks when they heard the bell.
The escorting officer also got Xiong Jiushan’s password.
A few old government officials were in charge, and they led a group of young officials to draw two horizontal lines on the ground, leaving a space for one or two people to walk in the middle. The left and right were divided into activity areas for prisoners and villagers.
The middle is left blank to facilitate the guards to control accidents and ensure safe transactions for both parties.
It sounds nice, but it is actually to monitor what the prisoners and villagers are trading.
Dangerous things are definitely prohibited. It would be a great kindness for them to exchange something with each other.
At first, both parties were nervous when they met.
The prisoners came over in shackles, looking miserable as if they were about to die. To be honest, it had a huge impact on the villagers.
In the past, one or two prisoners would go north, accompanied by three or two people who were on their way out. They would go into the village to rest and have something to eat and then leave. They would not have much contact with most of the villagers.
With such a huge crowd of prisoners in front of them, each one stepped forward with bells jingling on their shoulders and feet. Some villagers really trembled and felt uncomfortable.
In the simple concept of the villagers, those who can be sent thousands of miles away do not know how many crimes they have committed. Some prisoners have indeed committed several crimes, and their appearance is terrifying. They come around with a sullen face to see the villagers leading them. Something is coming.
No villager dared to come forward. The small "village market" that was set up temporarily in Gaojia Village almost collapsed because the villagers were frightened.
Fortunately, everyone finally gained some courage after a certain fugitive who had no martial ethics and wanted to grab something was severely beaten by the guard next to him.
With the officers and soldiers here, there shouldn't be any big trouble.
The villagers of Gaojia Village happily traded with each other in the open space on the eastern outskirts of the city with a group of criminals who had not long left the capital and had a lot of money.
Both parties are happy.
Some people got money, some got things, and some even saw that some of the prisoners were generous, so they exchanged the thick clothes they couldn't bear to wear at home when they returned home.
Prices in Gaojia Village are rising.
Sometimes, one family wants good things from another, and the fight is quite chaotic. The villagers selling goods are almost involved in the refugees. If the officers and soldiers are not watching, they will easily die at the feet of everyone.
The villagers who were lucky enough to survive were extremely grateful and gave some benefits to the guards to express their gratitude.
I was so scared that I left quickly.
My God, it’s terrible that there are so many prisoners.
After finally encountering such an opportunity, naturally some people from the Xie family came over. Although everyone already knew that their family god was still there, the Xie family still valued self-reliance in their bones.
If you have the opportunity to replenish supplies on the road, you should try your best to replace them.
The exchange place is crowded and crowded. The people in the prisoner team know best who they are.
Don’t say that they didn’t get anything in exchange. I’m afraid some people went forward to exchange for something, but if they didn’t get it, they might have lost everything valuable.
Therefore, there are not many people from the Xie family.
Xie Wenjie stopped moving forward as soon as he was introduced as a scholar. Xie Wuying took several Xie family guards to protect Xie Zhen, the second girl from Xie.
Originally Xie Wuying volunteered and planned to go by herself.
Xie Yuchuan said quietly: "It's easy to scare the villagers if you go. The second sister has better vision than you."
Xie Zhen laughed on the side.
Just like that, Xie Zhen, under the protection of the men of the Xie family, took the money on his body and went over to see what the Gao family villagers had in their hands.
Xie Zhen doesn’t expect anything like food.
After the autumn harvest, after the villagers have paid various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, whoever trades the rations will be a prodigal who does not want to live.
If you don’t even have enough to eat, why should you give it to others?
However, the villagers live here all year round, relying on the mountains and the water to eat, so there are always some things in the mountains that they can save.
After discussing with Xie Yuchuan, Xie Zhen felt that it would be great if they could exchange some such things from the villagers.
But Xie Zhen still underestimated the strength of the villagers in Gaojia Village.
There was a villager who stood silently and stared for a long time, and finally found that she had enough money and was generous.
He made up his mind and stepped forward and asked: "I have a piece of high-quality leather at home, do you want it?"
