Chapter 31: Background
"Zhao Yuan, hurry up and eat, and wait for Mrs. Hui to come over." ”
Just when Zhao Yuan was thinking wildly, Sister-in-law Luo shouted at Zhao Yuan. Sister-in-law Luo left a bowl of steaming mutton for Zhao Yuan, which was a bowl of mutton without soup.
"Xie Lu, sister-in-law Xie Luo. ”
"The axe told me to keep it for you, but he didn't tell you, Sister-in-law Luo's memory will really forget. Sister-in-law Luo looked at Zhao Yuan and smiled.
In the East Courtyard, Zhao Yuan is very popular, because he is willing to help. Most importantly, Zhao Yuan is very generous.
After Zhao Yuan returned the money lost by the workers last time, he bought a lot of chicken, duck, fish and shochu with the extra money, and the people in the entire East Courtyard had a lively meal.
In the East Courtyard, they are all doing manual work, and most of the economic conditions are not very good, and they are eager to break a penny in half, and it is extremely rare to see Zhao Yuan who regards money as dung, so it is naturally easy to win everyone's favor.
If Zhao Yuan is late for dinner, Zhao Yuan will definitely leave food in the kitchen, and it is full of portions.
Even if Chef Luo and Chef Lei forget to stay, Guo Axe will definitely not forget.
In the kitchen, you can often see Guo Axe's solid body squeezing in front of the stove and throwing a big basin, which is Zhao Yuan's.
In the East Courtyard, very few people dare to offend Guo Axe, everyone knows the way, don't look at Guo Axe's stuffy head, but his personality is extremely strong, and his temper is as stubborn as a bull.
Guo Axe likes to get along with Zhao Yuan, because Zhao Yuan will talk to him, cut flies with him, and teach him some knowledge.
A person with a dull and wooden personality like Guo Axe, once he identifies who is a friend, then that person will definitely be his friend for the rest of his life.
There is no doubt that in the Eastern Courtyard, Zhao Yuan is Guo Axe's only friend.
When Zhao Yuan was eating mutton, Guo Axe was roasting in front of the stove in a daze.
"Axe, thinking about it?" Zhao Yuan immediately noticed that the axe was a little unusual.
"I'm ......" Guo Axe opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, just shook his head.
"Tell me. Zhao Yuan squatted next to Guo Axe.
"Blind date. Guo Axe's face turned red, and he spit out two words uneasily.
"Blind date! Ha Luha, Axe is looking for a daughter-in-law?" Zhao Yuan smiled and patted Axe's shoulder.
“...... I don't have the money to fix the house. Guo Axe's face turned red.
"If you have money, will your daughter-in-law agree?" Zhao Yuan was stunned, his mood was inexplicably heavy, and he knew that Guo Axe's greatest wish was to ask for a daughter-in-law and inherit the Guo family.
"Maybe. Guo Axe hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Or, you go on a blind date first, and then we'll figure out a way about money?"
"Don't go. Guo Axe shook his head.
"Why?"
"I ...... I...... I'm afraid ......"
"I'm afraid of a bird, a manly man, and his head is cut off and he only has a big scar, isn't it just to see a woman!
"Fifteen. ”
"The day after tomorrow?" Zhao Yuan was stunned, today is fourteen.
"After the Chinese New Year. ”
"Oh, that's not a hurry, there's still a month to go, and we'll think of a way to marry our daughter-in-law home next year. Zhao Yuan comforted.
"You accompany me?" Guo Axe looked at Zhao Yuan with a look of hope.
"Ah...... This...... This may be inconvenient, it's your blind date, don't be afraid, when the time comes, I'll go with you, you see the girl by yourself, how about it?"
"Hmm. Guo Axe glanced at Zhao Yuan and nodded fiercely.
Just when Zhao Yuan and Guo Axe were chatting with each other, in the West Courtyard, Chen and Wan Ziyu were sitting in the main hall with serious faces.
"Madam, is it really that serious?"
"Yes, it's more serious than you think, now that the city has been under military control, many hungry people have gathered outside the city, and the people in the city are fluctuating, and the situation is very critical. In addition to some large cities besieged by hungry people, many official roads have been entrenched by hungry people, commercial exchanges have been completely stopped, and we have three horse teams robbed. If this situation continues, the situation will only get worse, because food can no longer be transported through normal channels, and the number of hungry people will only increase. Our Xujiaqiao area is remote, but yesterday, I only made a rough count, and the influx of hungry people from other places has exceeded 2,000, which is also unique in history......" Chen looked worried.
"What do the Ma family and the Xiao family say?"
"Hmph, they don't take it seriously at all, saying that the government will protect them. The government, hmph, just the dozens of lazy officials in the government can control thousands of hungry people!!" Chen said angrily.
"What about the other big families?"
"Like the Ma family and the Xiao family, they are all waiting and watching, unwilling to give porridge for disaster relief, let alone distribute winter clothes. ”
"However, relying on our thousands of families alone will not be able to support many days, and thousands of people will eat up our thousands of families. Wan Ziyu frowned.
"There will only be more and more people. They don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and now, we can only sweep the snow in front of the door, insist on one day at a time, and stay up until Emperor Daqin comes up with a way. Chen let out a long sigh.
"How many underground dart masters can be contacted now?"
"No, other dart masters are also people, and one of them can deal with three or five people at most, and if there are too many people, it is useless. The current hungry people are often thousands, and the dart master can't stand the large number of people at all, and they are also afraid of death. Besides, Xu Jiaqiao now has a total of more than 200 underground dart masters, more than a dozen large families, a drop in the bucket, and it can't work at all. ”
"That'...... So what to do?"
"At the moment, there is no way, the only way is to give porridge to the disaster relief, so that they have food and do not become mobs. However, we also have to take precautions, and I will go to the East Courtyard later, gather all the people who have gone home for the New Year, distribute weapons, and let them protect the ten thousand homes. By the way, while Xujiaqiao is still stable now, you can take Ling'er to Xihuang Mountain......"
"No, I swore that I would never step into Xihuang Mountain again in this life!" Wan Ziyu cut the railway.
"No matter what, no matter what, you and Ling'er can fly with the sword, in case of a civil uprising, take me with you, and you can save the life of the family, but it's just that you pity the huge family business of the Wan family and the workers who have followed the Wan family for decades...... " Chen glanced at Wan Ziyu and shook his head.
"Who dares to touch our ten thousand families, and ask me if Wan Ziyu's long sword promises!" Wan Ziyu raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.
"Ziyu, I know that you have a fiery temperament, but this is the trend of the times, and your personal strength is insignificant, you can kill ten people, a hundred, can you kill thousands of people? Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't stop thousands of hungry people. Besides, you are a cultivator, and if you create such heinous murders, you will be punished by heaven. If you want to go on a killing spree, I'd rather scatter all my wealth and start all over again. ”
"God's curse! Hmph, when will God be fair!" Wan Ziyu's face showed a wave of anger.
"God is unfair, I don't know what to do, but I don't dare to take risks, if Ziyu has three long and two short ......"
"Ma'am, there may be another way. ”
"The other way...... No, I've thought about it for a long time, and there's no way to break this dead knot. ”
"We don't, maybe someone will. Wan Ziyu's mind suddenly appeared Zhao Yuan's calm face.
"Who?"
"Zhao Yuan. ”
"Zhao Yuan?" Chen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, "Xiao Zhao in the corridor." ”
"Yes, he's smart and calm. ”
"How do you know about the Dao?"
Chen looked puzzled, she had only been back for less than two days, and after she came back, she was so busy that she didn't know what was happening in the East Courtyard of Ludao.
Wan Ziyu told Chen about the conflict between the underground dart master and the workers of the East Courtyard.
"It seems that this young man has a good disguise. ”
"Hehe, yes, but I let Zhu Cannon observe him for a long time, he seems to be very peaceful, and I guess he just wanted to find a place to spend the winter. ”
"Well, however, according to what you said, this person is not only thoughtful, but also bold, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, and when the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, let him go, although our family is one of the largest families in Xujiaqiao, but in the Great Qin Empire, he is only a small landlord and can't stand the toss. ”
"I think you're too worried, people are now Longyou Shoal, and when the time comes, even if you want to stay, you won't be able to keep them. ”
"Do you value him very much?" Chen looked at Wan Ziyu with a surprised face, she has shared the bed with Wan Ziyu for so many years, naturally she knows that Wan Ziyu has a very high vision, and it can be said that it is unprecedented to respect an ordinary person like now.
