Chapter 377
During the day, Ze knelt down, but this frightened Mrs. Qian and her grandson. They knelt on the ground tremblingly and did not dare to move.
At this time, Qi Xuan and Su Yunnuan were both wearing coarse clothes. They had planned to go into the mountain, but it seemed that they could not.
"Get up." Qi Xuan looked at Tian Tian Ze and said, "When I came to Taixi, I didn't expect to interact with the Bai family. As a citizen of Taixi, the Bai family is doing well."
During the day, there was sweat on Ze's forehead, and he bowed: "Yes, the emperor loves the people as his own children, but the common people knew it too late. It's a sin, a sin."
"What's the crime?" Qi Xuan turned around and walked into the house.
During the day, Zecheng followed behind in fear. From the corner of his eye, he saw the empress going to get up the mother-in-law, who turned pale with fright, and comforting her with soft words.
After the eldest grandson Bai Hesheng came back last year, Bai Tianze began to rectify the Bai family. It can be said that he has been living in trepidation every day for the past six months.
Although Bai Zhi noticed it when he came to Taixi for the second time from Bai Zhi, and found out that he was the empress's wife, who would have thought that the emperor and the empress could live in such a desolate place despite their wealth and wealth in the palace.
.
The most important thing is that when he came, he was not allowed to see the Bai family, and he was not allowed to touch the pearls. Instead, a series of workshops opened in the salt field.
It has only been more than half a month, and no one has gone out to sea to fish for pearls at all.
Not only did the pearl divers become fishermen, many people went to work in workshops.
Bai Tianze discussed it with the elders of his family for several days, and they all believed that this was a plan by the imperial court to draw money from under the cauldron. But could the small Bai family allow the imperial court to use such a large force?
The worst thing about everything is guessing. Bai Tianze, who was tossing and turning, always felt that he had no other choice. He had no choice but to make a decision to come to see the emperor and queen in person. Even if he stretched his neck and shrank his neck, he would not be able to avoid this knife. Now he can only look at the emperor.
What are your plans with the Queen?
What frightened Bai Tianze the most was that when they first met, the emperor and the queen were dressed like ordinary peasants.
Having lived for more than half of his life, he knew very well that the glamorous and wealthy people were not enough evidence. At worst, it was wealth and power that led to the gods. On the contrary, the rich people in the world wore rough clothes. This was the way to dig the foundation of Taixi.
After entering the room, Qi Xuan sat down. Ze did not dare to sit down during the day, so he could only stand beside him with his body hunched over, as if he was listening attentively, waiting to be scolded.
Qi Xuan looked at Bai Tianze and asked, "Are the Bai family born and raised in Taixi?"
Bai Tianze knelt down quickly and replied: "Back to the emperor, the ancestor of the Bai family was a salesman. He came to Taixi for a hundred years. According to the genealogy, it was to avoid the disaster of war. His ancestral home was on the grassland of Longmen Pass."
Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows: "I see."
"Over the years, the Taixi people lived in a corner and never went inland, so the Bai family sold their pearls, and gradually the Stone City became what it is today," Bai Baize said.
Qi Xuan nodded: "This Taixi River is near the sea. Have you seen people from overseas?"
Bai Tianze thought about it carefully: "I've seen it a few times, but those people didn't dock. Three or four years ago, a ship docked, but the sea was too rough and the waves damaged their boat. Those people
Then I went inland and never saw him again."
Qixuan guessed it was Medel's people.
"Get up and answer the question." Qi Xuan saw Bai Tianze getting up, and then asked: "No one from the Bai family is going to sea for a long trip?"
Bai Tianze shook his head: "No one dares to go out. We Taixi people are all timid. There is a pearl nest twenty miles out to sea. The furthest pearl divers are there. There are strong winds and waves in this season of the year. Going out to sea is fatal."
"
Two people were in the room, one asking and the other answering.
Outside, Su Yunnuan sat on a small bench and told Mrs. Qian about vegetable seeds. These vegetable seeds can be grown in the mountains all year round. This is a place where it is easy to have food and clothing. Su Yunnuan also encouraged Mrs. Qian to call her friends.
In addition to taking care of the existing fields, a large area of wasteland will be opened next. Moreover, there are natural paddy fields on the mountain col, which are perfect for growing rice. Su Yunnuan even wants to plant rice on the mountain col.
Freshwater fish are raised in paddy fields.
Mrs. Qian was frightened to death. She lowered her head and was thinking, is the Queen like this? She thought they were all noble and superior people, but after living here for so many days, she didn't know anything about it.
Didn't see it!
The food they eat is not too particular, and they wear the clothes of ordinary people. Moreover, the two of them go into the mountains every day. No one believes that they are the emperor and the queen, but they are like the Orion couple. Don’t talk about anything these days, they are in the backyard.
Dozens of pheasants were caught.
However, Boss Bai came up the mountain and knelt down to kowtow, which would have cost the old woman her life.
"Are you really the Queen?" Hai Sheng asked Su Yunnuan curiously.
Su Yunnuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, we came from the capital, and this is the first time I have seen the sea."
Haisheng grinned: "Is the Queen a very, very big official?"
"No, the empress is the emperor's daughter-in-law, not an official. Have you seen the person who is with me all day long? That is my husband, who is also the emperor of Daqian." Su Yunnuan said: "Doesn't it look like we are harmonious?
Like ordinary people?"
Haisheng nodded: "Yes, it's the same, the emperor is like an Orion."
Su Yunnuan laughed out loud and rubbed Haisheng's head: "Yes, the emperor used to be a hunter and was very good at hunting."
"Mother-in-law, are the Bai family very powerful here?" Su Yunnuan asked.
Mrs. Qian subconsciously glanced into the room and nodded cautiously: "It's amazing. They are very rich. We who can't go pearl fishing can only go to the mountains to make a living. Pearl divers are different. We can use
Pearl is staying at Bai's house to eat and drink."
"Oh, do the Bai family bully you?" Su Yunnuan asked.
Mrs. Qian shook her head: "If you don't bully me, Haisheng and I haven't left the mountain for several years. How can we offend others?"
"In the future, there will be a lot of farmland here, and the food grown can be sold to pearl divers for money. When the sea grows bigger, you can study." Su Yunnuan said.
Mrs. Qian quickly shook her head: "I don't dare to think that Hai will be able to marry a wife when he grows up, and just live in the mountains and raise children. Then I will be worthy of his mother."
Su Yunnuan had never asked about Granny Qian's grandparents and grandchildren.
Hearing this, I can’t help but ask: “Where is Hai Sheng’s mother?”
Mrs. Qian's eyes turned red: "No, I jumped into the sea. Hai Sheng's father is a pearl diver. After he came back with a black flag, Hai Sheng's mother jumped into the sea that night."
"I'm sorry for making you sad." Su Yunnuan said quickly.
Mrs. Qian wiped away her tears: "For many years, my Haisheng didn't know how to be a pearl diver, so we lived peacefully in the mountains."
"Grandma, I'm not a pearl diver." Hai Sheng leaned next to Mrs. Qian and said obediently.
Su Yunnuan clapped her hands: "Come on, let's go to the back to open up a piece of wasteland. We'll wait for people to go into the mountain to open up wasteland. We Haisheng will be the general managers of this mountain from now on."
