Chapter 179 Who else is there besides him, Qin Zhen
Jiang Dichen finally took out five taels of silver, put it on the table and said, "Here, this is five taels, no need to change."
Shen Ruolan put away the five taels of silver and gave him the chopsticks. She then entertained her grandfather and uncle and started eating.
However, Jiang Dichen was only there to eat. After the meal, Shen Ruolan drove him away and did not allow him to get close to their Fuzhai.
Late at night, on the top of a mountain in Fuzhai, Yan Mo asked his master: "Master, what should we do next?"
It is indeed a good thing that Concubine Lan is still alive, but now she has become completely different from before. She doesn't recognize her master at all and even charges money for a meal, which is really excessive.
Jiang Dichen listened to his subordinates. He looked at the dark night and said to them, "Stay here for a few days first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn Qin Zhen, wait until we get back to the capital, and see how I'll deal with you."
After Yan Mo heard what his master said, he looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Master, what does this have to do with General Qin..."
Before Yan Mo finished speaking, he instantly understood that Qin Zhen had already discovered their Concubine Lan, and had teamed up with her to trick Xia Hongmiao.
No wonder, when he was in the capital, he always felt that his smile was asking for a beating, it turned out that he was making fun of their master behind his back.
Jing Yun also quickly figured out the key to the matter. After a moment of silence, he asked his master, "Master, do you think Concubine Lan's escape from the palace has anything to do with General Qin?"
Jiang Dichen asked: "Besides Qin Zhen, who else is there?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his two subordinates and said, "All of this was planned by Qin Zhen. We were all fooled by him."
He said, why did Qin Zhen, who used to worry about three meals a day, suddenly become concerned about the affairs of ordinary people? It turned out that there was a trap waiting for him!
After hearing what his master said, Yan Mo said angrily, "Damn Qin Zhen, how dare you bully others like this? It's too much."
Jiang Dichen looked at Yan Mo and said, "Send the message back to the capital, find a few good-looking women, strip Qin Zhen naked and throw him among the women, and do it every few days. It would be best if his wife catches him in person."
Doesn't he like to ruin other people's families? Then let him have a taste of what it's like to have his wife and children separated.
Yan Mo responded to his master: "Yes, Master."
In the next few days, Jiang Dichen had someone build a simple thatched hut on the top of the mountain, and then went down the mountain every day to check on the children, and as usual, he had to pay for their meals.
The difference is that Shen Ruolan no longer sits at the same table with them. She eats by herself in the room and tries her best not to meet Jiang Dichen.
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month. The New Year was almost over and the villagers had started working. Shen Ruolan asked people to move out the new rice bought last year, and then asked everyone to start picking rice seeds in preparation for spring sowing.
Several women, while picking rice seeds, asked Shen Ruolan, "Village leader, can't we just soak the rice seeds in water and spread them in the fields? How slow is it to pick them like this?"
Shen Ruolan picked up a handful of seeds and explained to them, "If you want the seedlings to grow strong and produce more ears, you have to pick rice with full seeds."
"Oh, so that's how it is!" The woman paused and continued, "No wonder our rice has large and small spikelets every year. We always thought it was because the manure was not spread evenly, but we didn't expect it to be a problem with the seeds."
Another woman smiled at Shen Ruolan and asked, "Village leader, have you ever farmed before? Otherwise, how would you know so much?"
Shen Ruolan smiled at the woman and said, "I have never farmed before. What I just told you was just my guess."
In her previous life, she grew up in the countryside before junior high school. Although her family studied medicine for generations, they also farmed. So, she had participated in farming, collecting herbs, and growing medicinal herbs.
Many women, "Uh..."
Well, their village chief is capable, so just guess it, at least they have food to eat.
Just when everyone was busy picking rice, a villager suddenly came to report to Shen Ruolan: "Village leader, Mr. Bai and his parents came to wish you a happy new year."
When Shen Ruolan heard that Bai Zhen had arrived, she hesitated for a moment and asked the visitor, "You said that Bai Zhen's parents are here too?"
"Yes," the villagers replied.
When Shen Ruolan heard that Bai Zhen's family of three was coming, she couldn't help but frown. It was daytime now and she didn't want to go home at all. If Jiang Dichen hadn't wanted to look after the child and play with him every day, she would have even wanted to bring the child to the big kitchen. Now that there were suddenly guests, she had no choice but to go back.
Shen Ruolan was silent for a while, then said to the visitor, "Go down, I understand."
The villagers responded to Shen Ruolan: "Yes, village chief."
After Shen Ruolan and the other villagers left, she handed the dustpan in her hand to one of the women and said, "Sister Chen, here's the dustpan. I'll go back for a while."
The woman took the dustpan and said, "Yes, village chief."
Shen Ruolan stood up, gave instructions to everyone, and went home.
After she left, several women couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that our village chief would be so beautiful."
"Who said it wasn't? If Miss Ji Ning hadn't been following us that day, I would have thought that the girl in front of me was a guest of our Fu Village." One of the women echoed.
Another woman looked around and whispered to the others, "I heard that our village leader is the woman of King Han, and the two children of the village leader are the children of the king..."
Just as the women were talking excitedly, the steward of the kitchen came over and scolded them, "What are you talking about? You are talking about the master behind his back, or I will cut off your tongues."
After hearing this, the women quickly apologized to the steward, "Steward Wu, we were wrong. We won't do it again."
Manager Wu glanced at them coldly and warned them, "Hurry up and do your job, or you won't have any food to eat."
"Yes," several women answered in unison.
Here, Bai Zhen brought his parents to the door of Shen Ruolan's house. He happily introduced to his mother: "Mom, this is Miss Shen's home."
Mrs. Bai listened to her son's words, she looked up and looked around, and saw that the house was tidy and clean. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, she is a neat girl, not bad, not bad."
Bai Zhen listened to his mother's words, he smiled and replied: "Miss Shen is naturally very good."
As the family was talking, they came to the main hall of Shen Ruolan's house under the guidance of Ji Ning.
However, after entering the house, they found a young man with extraordinary appearance sitting in the main room, making Shen Ruolan's child giggle, which made the whole family stunned.
