Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

After Mianli and Yongpei came out of the county school, they rode their horses for a while, and when they reached the main road in the county town, their speed slowly slowed down.At this time, there were more people on the street. The two of them were afraid of hurting others, so they slowed down and walked slowly with the flow of people.And from now on Yongpei turned his head to look at Mianli several times every time, but every time he looked at Mianli's slightly squinted eyes, Yongpei couldn't bear to disturb him.

When Yongpei turned his head again and was hesitant to speak again, Mianli finally couldn't take it anymore and asked: "Sister Yong, what do you want to ask? Just ask if you want to ask, I'm tired of you like this .”

Yongpei was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he was really curious, so Yongpei pulled the reins and let the horse and Mianli's horse walk side by side: "Sister Mian, why didn't you wait for the results of the competition before leaving? Is there any lottery confiscated?"

"Caitou?" Mianli looked at Yongpei with a half-smile.

"Sister Yong should be clearer than me. The lottery is for the college, and its own dean accepts it. I, a little scholar, will not interfere. Besides, they represent a country, and it is not convenient for me to accept it with my identity. Don't worry. Let's go! Sister Yong, and there is the dean here, he can't please, as for the curse words, does it make any difference whether they say it or not?" Mian Li raised his sleeve to cover the sun.

Yongpei couldn't stop nodding when she heard this. She understood Mianli's thoughts. It should be that a gentleman should not set up a dangerous wall. Gold is a bet between colleges. The dean asks for it. As for the rest, she has already won, so there is no need To attract hatred again, although they have already been recruited, it is better than her to force them alone. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

Having figured it out, Yong Pei no longer asked about the competition, and the two talked and smiled, facing the sun, and marched in the direction of Yongfu.The two went back to Yong's house directly, and after lunch, Mianli greeted Yongpei in advance, and they wanted to go back to Mian's house.After Mianli and Yongpei agreed, they asked Butler Fu and Xiaoying to pack their luggage.

A few days away from home, Mianli already misses Buqi very much. That kind of thinking is a kind of feeling that you are fine when you have something to do. If you have nothing to do, once you are free, the miss will burst out from the brain to the heart, and then feel a little sour. , a little itchy, a little painful, and a little sweet, all kinds of mixed emotions made Mianli feel extremely uncomfortable, so this feeling forced Mianli to put herself in the middle of busyness all the time, endorsing books and practicing spiritual power, because only In this way, Mianli can temporarily forget Buqi.But even so, Mianli still felt Buqi's phantom, always accompanying her around.

In the early morning of the second day, Mianli bid farewell to Yongpei and asked Steward Fu and the others to go home first, while he and Xiaoying went to the county school in a carriage driven by Xiaolu.After sending Mianli to the county school, Mianli asked Xiaolu to park the carriage at the racecourse of the county school, and then Mianli took Xiaolu and Xiaoying along the path of the county school to the pastoral cottage of the old dean--- Cottages.

From a distance across the fence, Mianli saw Shi Qingya wearing a homemade shirt, a bib outside, and a turban on her head, as if she was doing something in the yard, Mianli coughed outside the fence, Shi Qingya listened Sheng Sheng hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw Mianli smiling at himself outside the fence.

Shi Qingya exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, Senior Sister Mian, why are you here so early? Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you." After speaking, Shi Qingya put down the wooden basin in her hand and took three steps. He walked quickly to the gate in two steps, pulled the latch lightly, creaked it, and opened the door.

Shi Qingya opened the door and invited Mianli in.Mianli looked around while walking and asked, "Senior Qingya, I'm sorry to bother you so early, I wonder if sir is here?"

After listening to the question, Shi Qingya returned with a smile: "Yes, Dad is working on his jade carvings, which are sent by Master Cangmi. Dad said he wants to carve a few good ones for him to play with."

"Oh? Then I'm here to see Mr., so don't delay his business?" Mianli slightly raised her voice, because she sensed that someone was standing by the window of the thatched cottage and eavesdropping.

"There's no delay, anyway, Dad can carve at any time, come, sit here with senior sister Mian." Shi Jingya invited Mianli to sit down, and then picked up the wooden basin.

Seeing this, Mianli helped to hold it: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Give some bean sprouts to Dad for wine, Senior Sister Mian just help me put these here." Shi Jingya walked in front of the kitchen, pointing to the stove and said.Then he asked Mianli who came in to put the things away, Mianli did as he did, and then looked at the spotless kitchen, Mianli gave Shi Jingya a thumbs up, and praised: "Sister Jingya is so good!"

Shi Jingya shook her head: "Senior Mian is the best, she can serve the country and the people, and I just clean up the house."

"That's virtuous, there is no family without a small family!" Mianli continued to boast, and then the two walked out of the kitchen.

"I'm going to call Dad right now, Senior Sister Mian, please sit down and wait for a while." Shi Jingya said with a smile.

"Okay, junior girl, please tell Mr. Mianli that he came here specially to see him!" Mianli said to Shi Jingya with a raised voice.

Shi Jingya nodded, but before she went to the room to look for the old dean, she heard the old dean's voice coming from the room: "Okay, I'm an old man, what's the matter?" Good to see you? I only know that other people come to see me, most of them are to see my daughter, but you girl, you are here to break my heart." Listening to the voice, Mianli saw that the old dean was a little bragging. Huzi came out of the room staring, then stood in the courtyard and looked at Mianli angrily.

Mianli smiled and cupped her hands: "Mianli met Mr.!"

"Forget it, it's better if you don't come. It's really a debt collector, and I don't even look at the time of day, so I just come to ask for it." The old dean said a little angrily.

Mianli led Xiaoying and the two bowed to the old dean: "No matter when, the student Mianli comes to see Mr. sincerely."

The old dean waved his sleeves, and then snorted: "No, no, no need to see you if you have nothing to do! You can go back."

Seeing that the old dean was unmoved, Mianli asked Shi Qingya with a smile: "Hehe, something is up! Excuse me, Junior Qingya, did Prince Fusang cash in on his fortune yesterday?"

After hearing this, Shi Qingya laughed when she thought of the pain in the elder prince's face, and her voice was clear and crisp: "Yeah, it's cashed in, and I gave an extra 100 taels for some reason, but I didn't say that I was a lamb."

The old dean snorted, but he was actually happy in his heart: "What do you juniors know, just buy one for 100 taels and don't talk. Us! We need to be forgiving and forgiving. After all, we have already gained something, so there is no need Push him too hard. After all, he also represents a small country, and if the pressure is too tight, they will lose face and we will lose our demeanor, saying that we bully the small with the big."

Mianli looked at the old dean with a smile, but didn't speak.

The old dean blushed: "Yes, the county school has gained benefits. Don't look at me so eccentrically. My old man is not sloppy, and he keeps his word. Since you won, I will definitely give you the tea tree. Don't worry. Let's go Let's go, hurry up and dig the tea tree, then get out of here, I don't want to see you for a moment now."

Mianli hurriedly saluted after hearing this: "Yes, I also came here to bid farewell to the old dean, so I won't disturb the old man. Besides, I came to dig the tree so early in order to catch up with the day to plant the tea tree. I feel distressed when a tea tree is destroyed."

"Ah? You really want to go?" The old dean gave Mianli a blank look.

"Of course, how could I deceive Mr.? I have been away from home for several days, and I miss my family very much." Mianli said, looking at the peach trees in the courtyard.

The old dean looked at Mianli's appearance, after all, he was someone who had been there, and he also vaguely understood Mianli's thoughts.

"But your grades haven't come out yet! You have to wait at least ten days! Don't worry, just read more classics at the county school." The meaning of the old dean's words is still to stay for a few more days.

"The results haven't come out yet, but I think the old dean should have read my exam papers. I don't know what level I am in the exam. Please ask the old gentleman to teach me in person. Mianli thank you in advance, sir." Mianli smiled. He looked at the old dean with a non-smile, and then gave a salute.

The old dean was worshiped by Mianli again, so his face turned red, Mianli guessed right, after the exam the day before yesterday, the old dean went to get Mianli's test paper and read it carefully after Mianli left , From the content to the handwriting, it can be said that it is completely superior.Otherwise, the old dean wouldn't be so relieved to accept the competition yesterday.

Now that the old dean was exposed by Mianli, he took a hoe out of the gate a little bit angrily, turned his head and gave Mianli a look: "Go, you still dig or not, if you don't dig, my old man will go back to rest."

The old dean successfully changed the subject. Mianli heard that he was going to dig tea trees, and hurried forward to take the hoe in the old dean's hand: "Dig, dig, why not dig? Let's go now, hey, sir, I Come get the hoe, how can I tire you, sir?"

The old dean's hoe was taken away by Mianli, so he snorted coldly at Mianli, turned around and led the way with his hands behind his back, Mianli watched and hurriedly followed, Xiaoying took the hoe from the side and followed Go up, a group of four people walked to the grove in the southeast of the thatched house.

From a distance, Shi Jingya shouted in the courtyard: "Father, you will come back to have breakfast with Sister Mian later, I will be ready soon."

After hearing this, the old dean replied angrily: "Got it, this girl is going back to her hometown, you don't have to be her."

After speaking, the old dean took a few glances at Mianli: "Leave after digging? Then you came here after breakfast?"

Of course Mianli ate, but looking at the appearance of the old dean, Mianli shook his head quickly: "Mianli has been thinking about coming to see you, sir, for fear of forgetting to say goodbye to him. Besides, I can plant tea trees if I think about it. I've been thinking about it all morning, so I don't have an appetite."

The old dean felt a little relieved when he heard that, seeing that Mianli was a tea lover, he could safely hand over the tea tree to Mianli.But thinking about Mianli's threat yesterday, not giving tea trees no comparison, and then the old dean snorted again.

The four of them walked slowly through a bamboo grove, when Mianli raised his head, he saw two clusters of tea trees, and there were four or five taller tea trees around, and Mianli's eyes brightened after looking at them.

The old dean looked at Mianli's appearance, and stood in front of Mianli: "What are you looking at? You must have evil intentions. Let me tell you, whichever one I ask you to dig, you can dig whichever one! Not a single one!"

Hearing the old dean's childish words, Mianli hurriedly nodded in response, fearing that the old dean would regret it: "Yes, yes, we must only dig one tree, and never dig randomly. Xiaolu, follow the old man's orders to dig trees. The soil needs to be packed tightly and thickly, and the roots need to be intact, so we have to take them back and transplant them.”

Xiaolu hurriedly agreed, and followed the old dean to choose trees, while Mianli sneaked around among several tea trees, and after wandering around, he ran to the tea bushes to count one by one, and pulled them with his hands. .Her abnormal behavior made the old dean a little puzzled: "You stinky girl, what are you doing with your hands and feet? Did you do something to my tea tree?"

Mianli pointed at herself pretending to be surprised, and then spread her hands to the old dean: "Sir, you say me? What do you think I can do? My hands are empty. Me! I just went to smell the tea leaves." You always know the fresh taste, and I am also a tea lover. Speaking of which, old dean, please! Can you give me two more, I am really envious when I see these tea trees."

Hearing Mianli's words, the old dean hummed twice triumphantly: "Hot-eyed? You're hot-eyed! These are my treasures, and I won't exchange them even if you give me a thousand dollars. Your little girl will be happy if she gets one. Go, many old friends ask me for it, but I won't give it!"

After hearing this, Mianli pretended to be listless, but in fact, she was already happy in her heart, and the surroundings were not in vain. She harvested a lot of buds and put them into the space. Her own tea garden project already had good seeds.

Under the careful selection of the old dean, a tea tree that looks vigorous but very small was dug out by Xiaolu bit by bit. The excavation process was full of tears for Xiaolu.

Listening to the voice of the old dean after excavation, everyone can understand the pain of Xiaolu.

"How many times have I told you? Don't touch the roots of other tea trees, take a look, my little baby, the roots are all exposed, look at this root, it almost broke, oh, it's really Kill me.!" The old dean filled the soil bit by bit with his hands in distress, and even touched the nearby tea trees, treating them like treasures.And when the hole dug was filled, the old dean walked over and slowly compacted it, and then looked at the path angrily.

Afraid that the old dean would really get angry, Mianli hurried forward to persuade him: "Old man, calm down, you are not inexperienced, next time, next time it will be fine."

The old dean became anxious when he heard that, and grabbed the hoe at once: "Mian girl, you go, go, no, come with me, I think my tea trees are not safe for you here, get out of here quickly." At the end, he pushed Mianli down, only to see a big black handprint appearing on Mianli's body.

Mianli's face was full of black lines: "Let's go, I'll leave right away. Xiaoying Xiaolu, you two put the tea tree on the carriage for me. I'll go later." Mianli said as he gently supported the old man who had lost his temper as a donkey. The dean came out of the woods and walked towards the thatched cottage.All the way to appease, it can be said that the old dean dispelled the doubt that the tea tree would be harmed by them.

"Phew, it's delicious, not bad, Junior Jingya's cooking skills are really good." Mianli finished the porridge in two or three gulps, burped, and praised Shi Jingya.

Just after sending the old dean back, Shi Jingya arranged the meals and waited for them.Mianli didn't want to eat any more at first, but the hospitality was hard to give up, so Mianli tried to eat a bowl, but the taste was so good that he accidentally ate another bowl, and now Mianli, whose stomach is already full, couldn't stop eating. She praised Shi Jingya.

The old dean stroked his beard proudly: "That's right, my girl is good everywhere. There are so many talents asking for marriage!"

Shi Jingya blushed when she heard this, and said angrily, "Father, don't talk nonsense!" After speaking, she glanced at Mianli.

Mianli put down her job and nodded in agreement with what the old dean said.

Shi Jingya watched Mianli finish eating, so she reached out and asked Mianli for a bowl, Mianli hurriedly waved her hand: "Thank you, junior, I'm full, I really can't eat anything."

Seeing that Mianli didn't seem to be lying, Shi Jingya pursed her lips and smiled: "The senior sister really doesn't eat much."

Mianli's ears were a little red when she heard that, she had eaten at Yongfu, and after thinking about it, she didn't want to explain, so she changed the subject and said: "Thank you for the meal, sir, I'm going home now. I don't know what the master taught me?"

At this time, the old dean just finished his meal and put down his job. Hearing Mianli's words, he sighed softly: "You come with me."

Mianli nodded, Shi Jingya was a little dazed when she heard that Mianli was about to leave, but recovered instantly and cleaned up the dishes.

The old dean held a red box in his hand and handed it to Mianli: "I sorted this out yesterday, you can take a good look at it when you go back, I think there should be no problem in the autumn exam."

Mianli took it over and nodded solemnly: "The student thanked the dean, and must study hard to live up to the dean's expectations."

The old dean said earnestly: "You must not delay your studies when you go back to study. Come to the county school after the mid-autumn exam."

Mian Li said, "Sir, let's talk about it later, my heart is still pounding! What if I don't hit it?"

The old dean shook his head: "Come here if you got the update. That's all. There are some things that this old man can't say to you. You can go. I won't keep you."

Mianli saluted with the box in her arms, then turned and left.

The old dean shook his head: "Young man!"

After he finished speaking, he returned to the house and saw his daughter standing in front of the window looking at the back of Mianli walking away. The old dean came to him and said softly: "She is not suitable for you."

Shi Jingya was startled, then lowered her head.

Walking to his own carriage, Mianli looked at the county school, let out a sigh of relief, first put the box on it, lifted his clothes and got into the carriage, and said excitedly to the path: "Go back, let's go home! "
