Chapter 13 They are all foxes

"Master, did those people last night..."

Wu Tangzhi responded with a worried look on his face: "I don't know, but I heard that there are refugees in a few villages. We will know what the situation is when Lao Er and the others come back."

After Wu Tangchi finished speaking, Guo Xiaoxiao spoke out and said, "Uncle, aunt, I am a woman who doesn't know how to farm. I want to rent out the two acres of land at home. I need to trouble my uncle and aunt to help."

Pull the strings.”

"You want to rent out the land?"

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao nodding in agreement, Wu Tangzhi thought: It's okay to rent it out, but this official lady doesn't know how to farm.

Qin Yulan looked at Guo Xiaoxiao with bright eyes, "Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, do you really want to rent out those two acres of land?"

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, I don't know how to farm. I want my children to go to school, so I thought of renting out the land. If someone I know wants to rent it, as long as the rent is suitable, I will do it.

Already."

Hearing this, Qin Yulan turned to look at her man, "Master, can we rent this land?"

Wu Tangchi glared at his hot-tempered woman, pretended to cough, then looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and asked: "Wisdom of the Xiao family, how do you calculate the rent?"

"Thirty percent, give thirty percent of the harvest, one lot per year."

"Thirty percent, not high. 10%. My uncle has taken note of this and will talk to you after I say it."

"Hey, thank you uncle, thank you auntie. I'll go home first."

"Hey, wait a minute, come home and chat when you have time."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Master, let's rent the two acres of land from the Xiao family. Although our family has a few acres of land, we have a lot of people. We can't save much after using it for a year."

After Guo Xiaoxiao walked out of the yard, Qin Yulan started talking to Wu Tangchi.

"The third child is already quite old. If you like this, you will have to prepare a betrothal gift and afford a few rooms..."

Listening to Qin Yulan's ramble, Wu Tangchi also made some calculations in his mind.

After a while, he nodded and responded: "Sure, let's rent it. Let's talk to the three brothers tonight. The rent is 30%, which is the lowest nowadays. We have to be human. Let's see what they think."

As he said that, he turned to look at his wife, "Take care of the two at home, don't talk about it all day long and show off everything."

"Head of the family, I saved it. This matter is settled. You have to hurry up. Those two acres of land can still be planted this year."

"I know, I know..."

After returning home, Guo Xiaoxiao took a hoe to the backyard, ready to turn over the soil in the backyard again, and then plant some beans, radishes and loofahs.

Xiao Ziqing followed closely with her mistress, and asked abruptly: "Stepmother, Ziqing is here to help."

"Yeah, sister, help mother, mother is not tired."

Listening to the little girl's milky voice, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, mother can do it by herself. Ziqing, the sun is a bit bright, just take Xiaosi to play in a cool place."

"stepmother,"

"Go ahead, your stepmother will be fine soon."

Xiao Ziqing looked at Guo Xiaoxiao steadily for a while, nodded and said "ok", then took the little girl and sat down in a shady place, watching Guo Xiaoxiao turn over the ground.

"Sir, Master Qi from Qin County next door is here."

"Qin County? Master Qi? Please come quickly." Although he didn't know why the master from the next county came here, Guo Haifeng quickly went out to greet him.

"How are you doing, Master Qi?"

"Qi Mou has met Mr. Guo."

"Please sit down and watch the tea."

After the waiter put the tea on the table and left, Guo Haifeng asked: "I wonder why Master Qi came to Lin County."

"Master Guo, Qi's visit this time is not for official business. The thing is like this..."

"The yamen officer on duty came back and told the story. The lord of our district sent Qi to come and tell the lord. The bandits have been caught, and Miss Guo is fine."

At this time, Guo Haifeng remembered what he had forgotten recently, raised his hand and patted his head, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Qi, for coming to inform me about this. I hope my daughter is fine. My son-in-law is not in the village?"

"No, I heard from the villagers that they left home the day after they got married. There are four children at home, the eldest is twelve and the youngest is four."

Hearing this, Guo Haifeng couldn't believe it.

This marriage was proposed by the prefect. How could it be like this?

Moreover, the prefect’s wife and Xiaoxiao’s mother are acquaintances, how could...

In the blink of an eye, several doubts flashed through Guo Haifeng's mind. Although he didn't know what was going on here, he had to do the things on the surface and not let others gossip.

When Qi Mou left, Guo Haifeng had someone prepare some food for chewing and sent it to Wuming Village in Qin County to give it to Guo Xiaoxiao.

After entering the territory of Qin County, Qi Mou pointed the direction to the young man of the Guo family, and then headed in the direction of the county government...

Qin County.

County government.

"Master Qi, how are you?"

"Sir, I am definitely the daughter of Lord Guo. She is the second Miss Guo who has become a concubine from a legitimate daughter."

"That makes sense. It's just that Guo Haifeng probably lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds."

Seeing Ou Fu's enigmatic expression, Qi Mou's eyes flashed, and he said with some confusion: "I heard that this marriage was appointed by the prefect, so it will definitely be good."

"I just don't understand how it could be like this. But I can see clearly that County Magistrate Guo doesn't even know about the situation of the Xiao family."

"Master, we don't care whether Guo Haifeng knows it or not. As for Miss Guo, you just need to remember one sentence."

"Sir, please speak."

"Miss Guo Er is not a simple person. It would be best if you can make friends with her."

"Sir, why do you say this?"

"Miss Guo's mother was as good as the prefect's wife and sisters when she was still in the boudoir. When Guo Haifeng married a new man, she was able to invite herself to the court calmly. Do you think she is a simple person?"

As he spoke, he snorted coldly, "The prefect's announcement of marriage is probably because he wants to protect Miss Guo, or he has some arrangements."

Qi Mou thought carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, it's very possible. Then the Xiao family can skip us and settle directly in Wuming Village. If there is no one behind this, I don't believe it."

"It's good to know." After saying that, he was thinking about what the old fox, the prefect, had planned, and how he could bring people to his Qin County territory for no reason...

He had someone check this matter, and the information on the Xiao family of five was so complete that he thought it was fake for a moment because it was too complete.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Guo family member appeared in Wuming Village...

I have to say that the county magistrate of Qin County is really smart and smart enough to even guess this.

What he didn't know was that in a house in Qingyang Mansion, a middle-aged man was sighing, "Oh, if I hadn't thought poorly at the time, I wouldn't have let Sister Qian's daughter marry like that."

"As soon as Xiao Yifeng leaves, the whole family will fall on my niece's shoulders. Madam, I haven't arranged this matter well. I'll let someone check it out some other time..."
