Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman - Chapter 646
Shortly after the afternoon, Pei Xiu heard the housekeeper come to report.
“Mrs. Qi, Chen Jiaming has been deprived of his fame and will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for life.”
“Is there any news from the yamen just now?”
Pei Xiu was not surprised at all, seducing a widow should be jailed!
“Yes, the villain sent someone to the yamen to wait for the news, saying that it was your love and I wished, but Chen Jiaming’s promise to coax the widow was not fulfilled, so the widow sued him, and the seduction was not established. But it is also true that he had an affair with the widow, Corrupting his character, and what happened this morning, Jing Zhaoyin hated him so much that he directly deprived him of his fame!”
That makes sense!
I just don’t know if the widow was hooked up by Chen Jiaming himself, or arranged by Zhou Cheng or Master Yu?
Flies don’t bite seamless eggs, if he walks and sits upright, it’s useless for anyone to coax him!
“Is he out of Beijing?”
“Not yet, I heard that the little servant just came to report that he was fighting with the widow at the yamen gate. The widow scolded him as a dog man. If he had no money to go to prostitutes, he stared at the widow, and even used her money, but he was not ready to marry her… “
The two scolded and scuffled, and scolded a bunch of swear words, and the housekeeper was embarrassed, and the words passed on by the servants blew Madam’s ears.
It’s about to end.
Pei Xiu smiled and nodded, “Well, I see, send someone to the yard in Linxian, tell him that the yard belongs to our family, and order him to move out tomorrow.”
“Also, give some care to his other two fellow villagers, so that they will be exempted from the rent they will rent. After all, they are also our fellow villagers and should have taken care of them long ago.”
She should have taken care of her when she knew she was a fellow countryman, but because Chen Jiaming was there, she didn’t give special care from the beginning.
The feelings of the ancients are unusual.
Logically, after they entered Beijing, they should have found out that Zhou Fu and Jing Zhaoyin were both from their hometowns, and they should have submitted a post for an interview.
But I don’t know why I didn’t come to the door?
After tomorrow, she may know the answer.
After the butler agreed, he went down to make arrangements.
Chen Jiaming’s matter can be considered resolved, and she is not afraid that the two scholars will stay in her courtyard and never leave again.
After all, the price of goods in the capital is high, and it is not easy to live in the capital. If they do not pass the exam, they have to return to their hometowns.
If they pass the exam, then there is also a love from their Zhou family.
It is also a relationship line.
She was rarely in a good mood.
To her surprise, there was good news in the evening.
“Mother~Mother~”
Pei Xiu was teaching Wheat to read when he heard the excited voices of the two brothers outside, opened the door, and saw them running out of breath.
“Why are you running like this? No one is chasing you. Did something happen?”
Since Zhou Cheng and the boss went to the border, the third child has been extremely honest and followed the second child every day.
She suddenly ran like this at this moment, and she was still yelling. She hadn’t appeared for a long time. She was a little curious.
The second child took a deep breath and said, “Mother, when we just came back, we heard people discussing in the streets and alleys, saying that there is good news at the border…”
The third child hurriedly answered, “It was said that the soldiers of the imperial court attacked at night as soon as they arrived at the border, caught Dong Rong by surprise, and burned their few grains.”
“Yes, I heard that the morale of Dongrong people is low, and sooner or later they will be defeated.”
Pei Xiu was overjoyed and grabbed their arms happily, “Really, when did the news come into the city?”
“I heard that it was a quarter of an hour ago, just when we were leaving school!”
Mai looked curiously at the happy faces of her mother and brothers, “Mother, are father and brother coming back?”
“It was your father who won the battle, and the good news came to Beijing.”
“Ah! Dad is amazing!”
The third child also asked, “Mother, do you have to wait for Dong Rong to retreat before they come back?”
“um, yes.”
“Then it’s mid-February now, and they have insufficient food and grass. Will they retreat early?”
Pei Xiu shook his head, the joy on his face disappeared instantly, and a worried look began to appear between his eyebrows.
“No, they are burning, killing, looting and looting on our border because there is not enough food for the winter. Now that the food and grass are destroyed, they will only fight back desperately, launch more violent attacks, and shorten the journey.”
The two brothers also frowned.
Dongrong people are good at fighting and are extremely brave. They fight against them in Daxia. Unless they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they can’t match them at all, so the imperial court will send troops to support them.
Seeing that the two children followed her with worried expressions, Pei Xiu hurriedly smiled to comfort them.
“Don’t worry, Dong Rong is not our opponent. They have run out of food and grass, and they can’t last for a few days. Our army will kill them if they don’t leave the city to fight.”
“Hmm, yes, Dad will definitely win the battle again!”
The two children were comforted and smiled again. They felt that what the mother said was very reasonable!
Pei Xiu was not so optimistic. During this time, she also heard a lot of gossip, and heard that Dong Rong was attacking the whole family this time.
Before winter, they began to burn, kill, and loot, hoarding supplies for the winter.
This year, I heard that a new high-yielding seed has appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty, and they sent envoys to ask for a better seed early.
How could the sage agree that his own people have not been popularized yet, so how could he give it to foreigners?
Just to prevent them from playing tricks, send someone to send them back to the outside of the border on the same day.
So this year has not yet entered the winter, there has been frequent friction at the border, and the cat has stopped in the winter. After all, if it is not active, the stomach will not be hungry so fast.
But who would have known that the snow this year is thicker than before, and the winter is longer than before. There are many people in Dongrong who starved to death and frozen to death. Food was in short supply, so the war was launched again.
It’s sunny in the capital, and I don’t know if the border is also sunny?
If it hasn’t, the snow will not melt, and after the spring, the people of Dongrong will not be able to farm or graze…
This battle is over…
This is just her woman’s opinion, and I don’t know if it will be the case.
Shaking my head ~www.mtlnovel.com~ can only wait for the news ahead.
Early the next morning, as soon as it was bright, the wheat got up excitedly.
Since she was injured, she has not practiced in the morning, and it has been snowing abnormally. Pei Xiu was afraid that her resistance would not be good and she would not let her exercise in the morning due to the cold.
She slept comfortably every day until the third day, and she hadn’t woken up early for a long time.
“Mother, get up and help me get dressed.”
“What’s the hurry? You don’t have to go so early. Maybe Yuqing hasn’t woken up yet. What should you do if you disturb her sleep too early?”
“Okay, then I’ll play with my brothers first.”
Pei Xiu yawned and dressed her, and then called Sister Li to come in and wash her up.
She had to lie down again to catch up on sleep, because of yesterday’s good news, she didn’t sleep much at night thinking about it.
She fell asleep, and the scenes of them going to the battlefield kept appearing in her dreams. Between half-dreams and half-awakes, she didn’t know how long she slept and how long she was awake.
