Chapter 540： appease

   "Second Prince..." Mu Yangling thought about it seriously, but found that this person was only a vague figure in her mind. She didn't expect to be able to do such a thing as forcing the palace.

"Please continue to pay attention, and if there is any news from the general and the fourth master, you must hurry back."

Baili responded and asked, "Fourth grandma, do you want to tell the general and the fourth master our address so they don't worry."

Mu Yangling thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, wait for us to get in touch with this matter, it's still too dangerous now, by the way, how many officials and family members are missing?"

Baili said ashamed: "I don't know if it is the news of the closure of the imperial court, or this place is too backward, we can't inquire about this news."

"Just to let people pay attention, don't worry too much. It's very late today. Tomorrow you ask Chen Ming to find the village chief and Lizheng. We will stay here for a long time and try our best to build a good relationship with them. "

Baili should go down.

The village chief and Li Zheng were already preparing, and they came almost as soon as Chen Ming asked.

This is a remote and impoverished small mountain village. The wealthiest family in the village has three blue brick and tile houses - left by their ancestors, and there are 60 acres of land - left by their ancestors. As a result, this Zhu family bought it not far from the village a year ago. He bought more than 100 acres of wasteland, and asked people to open up wasteland for farming. He also bought a hilltop in the village and built a large yard on it.

But the village chief and Li Zheng were not very happy. They were afraid that the Zhu family would bully the villagers. If nothing else, the Zhu family was really willing to only cultivate the hundred or so acres of wasteland?

When they have a firm foothold in the village, I am afraid that they will start buying land with the villagers.

Although Lizheng and the village chief have little knowledge, they have heard and seen some of the methods that the landlords are used to. Some of them lied to owe money, and then charged high interest, forcing people to sell the land, and even more seduce. The officials above directly turned the fields into wasteland, and then into their land...

The two of them shuddered as long as they thought about it, so the two of them wanted to see what the temperament of the Zhu family was. If it was really bad, they would inform the villagers to stay away from them.

It was impossible for Li Jinghua to come out to meet the two of them. She felt that it would be enough for Chen Ming to meet them. The village chief and Lizheng were foreign men after all, but Mu Yangling grew up in the countryside and had no taboos on these, plus he wanted to fight well. relationship, so I came out to meet people in person.

When the village chief and Lizheng saw a woman, they frowned slightly, and Mu Yangling smiled and said, "This is the village chief and Lizheng, I am the fourth grandma of the Zhu family, and our uncle and fourth grandfather are still in the north. You have to make arrangements before you come back."

Because he wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court, he changed Qi to Zhu. Anyway, Qi Xiuyuan and their mother's surname was Zhu.

Li Zheng's face softened a little when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked with a smile, "I don't know what the uncle Zhu and the fourth master are doing to survive? Why, why did you think of our small place to settle down?"

"Our uncle and fourth master are doing some small business in the north. Originally, we could barely make ends meet. Now the war is raging, and we can't stay in the north, so we sent us and our children back first. My mother-in-law's family was nearby. I was going to their village, and I had already bought the fields, but the Taoist priests invited by our fourth master passed by and said that the mountains here are good, which is good for health preservation. Weak, so the uncle and fourth master temporarily decided to build their home here."

Li Zheng was shocked and asked, "So the village where Zhu's family is in the quilt has fields?"

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile, "There are one or two hundred acres, not much, and they are all handed over to Zhuangtou below."

"Then why are you still buying wasteland in our village?"

"Since we are building a house here, we can't justify if we don't buy some wasteland, and it's convenient to plant something after the land is nearby."

Li Zheng and the village chief looked at each other, and they were both silent. Mu Yangling knew what they were thinking, but what she said and did at this time was superfluous, so she smiled: "Now our family is here alone, please also ask The village chief and Li Zheng take good care of them, and if the village has any difficulties in the future, they can tell our family, and we will reach out to those who can help.”

Lizheng and the village chief were begging them not to extend their hands, how dare they come to the door, so they only bowed and politely declined.

Mu Yangling didn't force it, and after saying a few words, it was considered a greeting, and then let Chen Ming greet them.

Li Zheng and the village chief are busy asking Chen Ming who the cousin of the Zhu family is. Although they may not be from the same village, they can be from the same township. In the future, if the Zhu family really wants to bully people, there is also a place where they can intercede. .

The cousin Mu Yangling mentioned was the sister-in-law of Mr. Liu's wife. In terms of identity, the Zhu family and Mr. Liu had a relationship that could be fought with five poles, and then they were involved in the relationship of the cousin who couldn't even have a fight with eight poles. .

Li Zheng and the village chief were full of mosquito coils after listening to Chen Ming count the relatives who had turned more than 18 turns, and his heart was suddenly cold.

Li Jinghua and Mu Yangling never went out. All the reasons for buying vegetables and meat were handed over to Chen Ming. The other servants were also arranged by Li Jinghua in an orderly manner.

Mu Yangling arranged three shifts of guards, and deployed guards inside and outside the yard. As long as there was a change, they would find out before anyone entered the village that the entire yard was made airtight by her.

Li Jinghua has seen Mu Yangling's drawing on the paper, although she can't understand it, and she also knows that the yard is arranged by Mu Yangling, which has improved the security a lot. At least the outer yard is under their sight. , no one can go past the guards and enter the inner courtyard.

Li Jinghua praised, "Are you a talent, or have you learned it?"

Mu Yangling didn't dare to say that he had learned it in his previous life, only said: "It's half a talent, and I also learned it from Haoran."

Li Jinghua nodded, no wonder he played so well with Qi Haoran.

"Mother, Auntie," Little Treasure ran over, hugged Li Jinghua's hand and said, "Go play, go play."

Mu Yangling reached out and touched his pale face, and asked, "Have you eaten the porridge I cooked for you?"

"Eat it," Xiaobao said, "It's delicious, better than milk."

"My face is still a little pale, sister-in-law, go back and ask the doctor to recuperate for Wang Mama, write a few medicated meals, eat healthy porridge, and not less milk."

Li Jinghua nodded, touched his son's head, turned his head to look at the bear on the side of the couch who was twisting his body to eat his leg, and said, "Xiaobao's body is still too weak, obviously the bear is younger than him, so he only rests. He recovered in one night, but he is still pale."

She was also born prematurely, but the little bear was very healthy, while her son was born with insufficiency.

Mu Yangling hurriedly said: "The child is still young, and it will be better if he takes care of it slowly. If the doctor doesn't say it, Xiaobao's body is much better."

Li Jinghua nodded slightly, touched his son's head and got up and said, "Let's go, Xiaobao, mother will take you out to play."

Xiaobao looked eagerly at his brother on the couch, and Li Jinghua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't leave your brother behind." Ask the nurse to pick up the little bear and go to the yard to play together.

Seeing that he could go out, the little bear jumped in the nurse's arms twice with joy, and his whole body was poking out, as if he had been locked up for ten or eight years before being released. Laughed straight at Mu Yangling.
