57, Chapter 57

ah?

Mrs. Qi did not expect Yang Haiyan to ask so directly, what should she say?

Seeing her silence, Yang Haiyan smiled slightly: "When Mrs. Qi mentioned this, didn't she want to tell me who was gossiping, but she wanted to make fun of my gossip?"

Mrs. Qi's heart tightened, Mrs. Qin was the wife of a thousand captains, how could she dare to make fun of the other person's gossip in front of her? Isn't this a feud? Mrs. Qi said hesitantly: "In other words, it means you are a prodigal woman, an old hen who can't lay eggs."

Yang Haiyan's smile remained the same, but her eyes were a little dark. Although she doesn't want to have children for the time being, will it be someone else's turn to talk to her? She is most disgusted by those who are women themselves but still say they are not women. From ancient times to modern times, such people are indispensable.

Sister-in-law Lu quickly comforted her: "Don't take it too seriously. If someone else has your mouth, you can only let them do it."

Yang Haiyan smiled: "Some people's mouths are too big. They have to be sewn shut so that they don't speak big words."

Mrs. Qi shrank in fear and sewed her mouth shut? Is it sewn with thread? Isn't this too scary?

Yang Haiyan didn't give up when she saw Mrs. Qi like this. How did Mrs. Qi know about those gossips? Occasionally heard? If she heard it accidentally, a serious person would definitely not say it in front of her. She saw that Mrs. Qi was also a loudmouthed person. Yang Haiyan would not be polite to such a person: "Mrs. Qi, I wonder who you have heard these words from?"

ah? Still say it? Mrs. Qi chuckled: "Mrs. Qin, I only heard it accidentally. I forgot who was talking." She regretted getting on the carriage a little bit, and she also regretted saying this. She saw that Mrs. Qin was definitely not an easy person to get along with, and she shouldn't have been so quick to talk just now.

Of course Yang Haiyan would not let her pass the test like this. It was still a long way to the county seat. Her face darkened: "‌It seems that Mrs. Qi is taking my gossip for fun, otherwise it would be impossible not to tell right from wrong. My husband is a seventh-grade captain, so I would like to ask Qi Baifu, ‌Isn’t it reasonable for my wife to tease her boss’s family behind her back?”

Mrs. Qi was shocked when she heard this. Depending on her man's temper, if she knew about this... she couldn't imagine it. Mrs. Qi immediately said: "Mrs. Qin, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense, don't you care about me, I..."

"Private Guard Chen, stop the car."

Chen Dashi stopped the car.

Yang Haiyan said coldly: "Mrs. Qi, please get off the carriage. I don't like to sit in a carriage with someone who takes me as a pleasure to gossip."

Mrs. Qi trembled with her lips: "I...I..."

Yang Haiyan continued: "When my husband comes back tonight, I will ask him to visit Qi Baifu. Even if he is not on duty at night, there will always be time to see him in the military camp tomorrow." It means, don't run away.

When Mrs. Qi heard this, she almost fainted: "Mrs. Qin, I..."

Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Fan, please pull me down."

Aunt Fan said loudly: "Yes, madam." Aunt Fan is a cook and holds a knife all the time, so she is very strong. Moreover, Mrs. Qi was in a trance again, so she easily pulled Mrs. Qi out of the carriage.

When Mrs. Qi was pulled out of the carriage and the carriage was far away, she came back to her senses, and then chased her desperately: "Mrs. Qin, please listen to my explanation, Mrs. Qin..." But a person with two feet is not as fast as a carriage with four wheels. ? In the end, Mrs. Qi fell to the ground paralyzed, and it was too late to regret.

Not to mention Mrs. Qi, even Mrs. Yang and Sister-in-law Lu didn't react. It wasn't until this moment that they truly realized that the woman in front of them was the wife of a centurion, not just a centurion's wife like them.

Speaking of which, Sister-in-law Lu had the deepest feelings. After all, Yang Haiyan had a good relationship with her when she first married here. She felt that Yang Haiyan had a good personality, was smart, and was young. Besides, they were both Centurion's wives. Later, Qin Fang was promoted, but Yang Haiyan still had the same personality, so Sister-in-law Lu never took Yang Haiyan's identity seriously.

It wasn't until this moment that Sister-in-law Lu really looked at her face to face. A centurion is different from a centurion, and a centurion's wife is different from a centurion's wife. Yang Haiyan drove Mrs. Qi out of the carriage with just one word. No, she was pulled out of the carriage by a servant. She did not have such courage. Mrs. Qi will be afraid that Qin Fang will ask questions, because Qin Fang is a captain of thousands and a military general in the imperial court. But would Mrs. Qi be afraid that Lu Zhide would ask questions? No, because Lu Zhide and Qi Baifu are both centurions. To put it bluntly, they are the top soldiers and do not have military membership in the imperial court.

Sister-in-law Lu calmed down and suddenly had an idea, whether she should tell Yang Haiyan about what she heard that day. If nothing else, just telling Yang Haiyan that Qin Fang was her man's boss would be good for their family. Wan Qin Fang became a guerrilla general, and her man had no hope for the vacant commander-in-chief position.

For the first time, Sister-in-law Lu faced the existence of power, and for the first time, she wanted to make a hope for her man. A centurion and a centurion, a centurion's wife and a centurion's wife, thoughts flashed across Sister-in-law Lu's eyes.

The carriage became quiet. From the time Mrs. Qi was dragged out of the carriage, no one spoke a word on the road to the county seat. When they arrived at the county seat, Yang Haiyan said: "Mrs. Yang, Sister-in-law Lu, I'm going to deliver the goods. Let's separate here and meet here later."

Of course Mrs. Yang and Sister-in-law Lu had no objection, and they got out of the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death in the carriage just now." In addition to being scared, there were other feelings in her heart.

Sister-in-law Lu smiled: "No." She was also frightened.

The carriage arrived at Shopkeeper Ping's shop. Yang Haiyan got off the carriage and saw Shopkeeper Ping at the door: "Shopkeeper, you are here really early."

Shopkeeper Ping said: "There are many people in the market today. If there are not enough snacks to sell today, I will ask my servant to say hello to you and I will add more tomorrow."

Yang Haiyan said: "Then I wish you a prosperous business."

Shopkeeper Ping: "Thank you for your good advice."

After leaving Shopkeeper Ping's shop, Yang Haiyan and Aunt Fan went to the market. During this visit, they bought a lot of things. But what I bought was not something from traveling merchants, but something made by ordinary people in Qi State. For example, the quality of cloth and shoes made by ordinary people is no worse than that in shops, and the price is cheaper. After buying too many things, Yang Haiyan pushed Aunt Fan away and asked her to take the things to the carriage first, while she waited for her here.

When Aunt Fan came back, she saw Yang Haiyan carrying a basket that she had bought in her hand. There were many things in it. In fact, many of them were seeds, such as winter melon seeds, cucumber seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. When to plant these seeds and how they turn out, we have to take them back to the countryside and let Niu Da study them. The first time you plant, you have to do a few experiments.

Speaking of which, in this world, when the grandmother was still alive, the vegetables at home were grown by the grandmother. However, Yang Haiyan was young at that time, and as time passed, she had forgotten what to plant in each season.

The main purpose of Yang Haiyan's visit today was to "buy" seeds. After buying them, she followed the scent and bought a roast duck.

Back on the carriage, Mrs. Yang and Sister-in-law Lu were already waiting. Unlike Yang Haiyan, they didn't buy as much as they did. They also bought things as fast as going to war, so they moved quickly.

‌Seeing that Yang Haiyan was back, Sister-in-law Lu said: "The things in this market are several cents cheaper than usual."

Yang Haiyan said: "No, so buying things at the market is the most cost-effective."

Mrs. Yang said: "Things are cheaper, but more people are buying them. For the shopkeepers and stall owners, there is no loss. They will definitely make more."

Yang Haiyan said: "Small profits but quick turnover."

The term "small profits but quick turnover" sounds unfamiliar, but Sister-in-law Lu and Mrs. Yang also understand its meaning.

What happened in the morning seemed like it had never happened.

‌On the way, everyone occasionally chatted for a few words, and then arrived at the family room.

Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Fan, cut the roast duck into half. Keep the other half for dinner when the adults come back." I don't know if the roast duck in ancient times is delicious, but it smells very fragrant.

But while waiting for lunch, Yang Haiyan felt that ancient roast duck was more delicious than modern roast duck. Probably...the roast duck in ancient times was more authentic.

Just after lunch, Chen Dashi, the gatekeeper, came to report that Mrs. Qi was here.

Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows: "She's here? Please come to the study."

In fact, what Yang Haiyan did today was to scare Mrs. Qi, but she didn't expect that she would come.

Mrs. Qi followed Chen Dashi timidly to the main courtyard, and then Chen Dashi turned back to guard the door.

Aunt Lian met Mrs. Qi at the entrance of the main courtyard: "Hello, Mrs. Qi, this old slave is Aunt Lian who is with my wife. My wife is waiting for you in the study."

Mrs. Qi: "Hello, Aunt Lian, please...could you please lead the way." This is not the first time Mrs. Qi has entered Qian Fu's house. Qi Bai Fu's boss is also a Qian Fu, so she has been to that Qian Fu's house. However, it is completely different from Qin Qianfu's house here.

How can I put it, the specifications of the house are the same, but the chief's family is not so particular, and there are not so many servants. When she came in just now, she reached the rows of courtyards over there (the lower courtyard). Then there were the private guards and the nanny's again. This force frightened her and her feet became a little weak.

Aunt Lian led Mrs. Qi to the door of the study: "Madam, Mrs. Qi is here."

Yang Haiyan said: "Please come in, Aunt Lian, go prepare tea."

Aunt Lian: "Yes."

Mrs. Qi walked in alone. When she came in, she saw Yang Haiyan sitting at the desk with books in front of her. Mrs. Qi smiled reluctantly: "I've met Mrs. Qin, are you... are you reading a book?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Mrs. Qi, please sit down. I am reading the laws of Qi State. There are more laws. You can use the laws to protect yourself. For example, you can know who has offended me and report them directly to the official."

Mrs. Qi's steps trembled and she almost fell.
