Ye Jianqiu

The simple-minded Qian Zhuang sat obediently next to Granny Cao, staring at the card players with stumped limbs and broken arms with wide eyes.

All the people playing cards at the table had severed fingers to varying degrees, and the most striking one was a guy who didn't even have any hands at all!The man's two bare arms were a bit shorter than others, and besides being unable to draw cards, the speed of shuffling the cards was no worse than others!The two stumps nimbly picked up the tiny dice and threw it on the table.When it's his turn to play a card, he can accurately pop out a card with just one flick of the fleshy lump!

Qianzhuang couldn't help scratching his head. Why are those people who don't lack arms and legs poor, but these people have endless money?As if sensing Qianzhuang's doubts, Mrs. Cao whispered in his ear: "Nine out of ten bets, don't be tempted."

"Oh."

In fact, Qian Zhuang was even more confused. This old lady Cao knew that playing cards was not good, so why did she still play?

"Don't worry, sister, I'm never obsessed."

"Oh."

Then they don't have any manpower, why are they still gambling?

"That's what they did."

"Oh."

Don't they know the consequences?

"The moment a moth flies into a flame is also a happy moment."

"Oh."

Strange, why can she know what I'm thinking?

"Because you said it all."

"Oh."

The people at the table roared with laughter, and Qian Zhuang also grinned as he smiled.

At this time, a servant came to report that Yang Butou asked to see him.

When Mrs. Cao asked, she knew that it was Yang Xiaomi who came alone, so she knew it, and she came to ask for "Yizhi" again!

"Let him in."

"Yes."

After a while, Yang Xiaomi, dressed in black soap, appeared in the card room. He greeted first when he entered the door, then took the tobacco box from the maid's hand, took the initiative to fill old lady Cao's cigarette pot with tobacco and lit it himself.

Standing behind Mrs. Cao, he kept praising: "Hey, old aunt, you are a good old man. Whatever you think in your heart, Mr. Xu's title of master is going to be changed!"

Mrs. Cao couldn't help laughing secretly, and knocked on the mahogany table with a cigarette stick: "Come on, don't be so good here, tell me, what's the matter with the old aunt?"

Yang Xiaomi smiled and said: "This female Bodhisattva is really kind. I just want to ask the benefactor if Wang Dachuan from Xiaozhai Village has been to the mansion these days. The poor monk has some common things to ask."

Granny Cao smiled and said, "You pretty monk, didn't you come down the mountain again to ask for alms?"

"Exactly, the small temple needs some incense money."

"Well, the old aunt will tell you that he seems to have come here once, and left after delivering a few carts of watermelons."

"Didn't you play cards with the old aunt? I heard that he is good at cards."

"That kid has self-knowledge. It's my rule to keep hands and no money. He can't afford to lose."

"Oh I got it."

Yang Xiaomi rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes.Granny Cao laughed secretly, this kid has so many eyes, it's no wonder he has to grow flesh!

"What else?"

Yang Xiaomi leaned close to Granny Cao and whispered something in her ear.Granny Cao touched a winning card, and after pondering for a moment, she only said: "I caught her, what should I wear?"

"Then..."

"It's up to you."

Yang Xiaomi knew it well, he happily greeted Qian Zhuang and Cao Wu respectively, praised Mrs. Cao for being lucky, and finally patted the guy with no hands to remind him that he was about to practice kung fu on his feet. Say goodbye and leave.

Seeing Yang Xiaomi's disappearing back, Cao Wu suddenly got up and chased after him. He shouted out of breath, "Brother Yang, please stay!"

Yang Xiaomi turned around: "Yo, it's the fifth child, what's the matter, why are you so anxious?"

"Brother Yang, Fifth Brother would like to ask you to help check someone."

"Let's talk, Brother Yang has a lot of informants, and it's easy to check people."

Cao Wu said a little shyly: "That, that's who." Then he leaned on Yang Xiaomi's ear and said three words.

Yang Xiaomi scratched his ears, puzzled and said, "What? I can't hear you clearly."

Cao Wu said "Hey" anxiously, and said loudly in Yang Xiaomi's ear again.Yang Xiaomi frowned and said, "What autumn?"

Cao Wu had no choice but to shout loudly: "Ye Jianqiu!"

Yang Xiaomi finally stopped teasing, patted Cao Wu on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "So it's him, I saw him a few days ago, he and his parents were eating at my steamed stuffed bun shop!"

"His parents?"

"Yes, Ye Dashan from West Tu'er Village."

"What about him now?"

Yang Xiaomi stretched out a finger, and Cao Wu looked into the distance along that finger.

"If you want to ask the beautiful woman where to go, there are eight hundred acres of quicksand river beach."

Cao Wu's eyes lit up: "Farm! Our family still has dozens of acres of land there! I'll find him!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Wu flung his big sleeves and ran away.

"Be careful of Chaoge's black eagle!"

Cao Wu staggered, paused for a moment, and ran away immediately.

Yang Xiaomi looked up at the sky and complained secretly, the Cao family really has a pair of old foxes!

Cao Da's relatives, brothers-in-law, acquaintances, friends, neighbors... there are too many to count, so he had no choice but to hand over this hot potato to Yang Xiaomi, leaving only one sentence - it can be done cheaply.And Mrs. Cao's here is usually - you figure it out.

This is clearly a big test of wisdom, talent, and ability!

It is a technical job to do this cheaply. If it is really a matter of business, Magistrate Cao may feel that the handling is too heavy, which will cause his dissatisfaction.If the handling is taken lightly, I am afraid that some people will go to the state government to file a complaint, or they may go to Situ Jin to seek justice, but Situ Jin will kill people, and the magistrate Cao will still be dissatisfied.

what to do? "Brush the clouds when you hold it high, and pluck the skirt when you lower it." The big board was raised high and lowered gently, just for show, the purpose is just to scare those rampant people with the surname Cao.Those with brains should restrain themselves, and those who are stupid can't help it. If you want to die, you can't keep alive.

And the strangeness behind this cannot be said.

If you tell the truth to the people, the people will scold you.What should I do, I can only tell jokes!As long as you tell jokes, no one will scold you, everyone is happy, everyone is happy.

Standing under the shade of a big tree, Yang Xiaomi looked at the fragrant lotus pond in the distance, and thought to himself, although Cao Wu was stupid, he had a good eye, and he fell in love with a little fairy at a glance...

He suddenly patted his head, and immediately raised his legs and strode out of Cao's mansion. Since the old lady had spoken, not only could Shui Yunshang's lady Zhen not be arrested, but she had to help deal with the aftermath of the scene, which was really troublesome!

------------------

The new Young Master Liang Chen always expresses himself in the mansion.

He is not afraid of the eyes of the people in the mansion, and he is ostentatious, as if this Situ mansion is a big stage, and he is the real protagonist.

He babbled and babbled under the phoenix tree every morning. During the day, he was dressed in a gorgeous dress and was surrounded by his servants and sat in a soft sedan chair. Like a master, he picked and pointed at the affairs of the house.He didn't sleep for a long time at night, instead of playing the piano and singing, he just danced under the light gauze under the moonlight. He always regarded the Cuizhu Pavilion as a fragrant and charming golden powder tower, and as expected, he became the most popular topic in the mansion.

Some people said that he had a charming figure and a charming face, while others said that he was born with a smile, so he was worthy of being an oiran.However, everyone's topic quickly shifted to other aspects of Young Master Liang Chen.He goes out with light makeup every day, with light lip gloss on his lips, thin powder on his face, carefully trimmed eyebrows, twisted waist when he walks, and swaying buttocks.His shoes are adorned with huge oriental beads, his clothes are inlaid with red and sapphires, there are purple gold hairpins and coral hairpins in his hair, he is scented with lotus incense, and even his little fingernails are long and neat. Pointed, but also studded with rhinestones!Everyone clicked their tongues, it was really an eye-opener, a man is even more charming and charming than a woman, it is really hateful!

But the more everyone hates him, the more they want to see him, the more they see him, the more they want to scold him, and after scolding him, they still want to see him... In the midst of this struggle of conflicts and conflicts, Mr. Liangchen came out again, and everyone All eyes were drawn to him.And that Mr. Liang Chen seems to be born for the gaze, no matter what kind of gaze, he accepts it as it is, and enjoys it very much. The more people watching, the more excited he is, so he can show his so-called charming personality even more brilliantly. Deportment, walking is more graceful, waist is softer, eyes are more proud... No matter how many knives have been stabbed in the back!

Since Mr. Liang Chen arrived, the flowers in the mansion have decreased a lot, and I heard that he took them to take a bath!Others said that his clothes occupied a whole room, and even his shoes were packed in several boxes!Boxes containing gold and silver jewelry are piled up into hills!Not to mention celebrity calligraphy and paintings, fox fur cloaks, peacock fur...they hang everywhere!

His servants are also well-trained, respectful and strict.When walking, take small steps slowly, without looking sideways, and when standing, lower your head with your hands down, and hold your breath.In addition to his personal attendants, Mr. Liangchen also has a luxurious carriage with a powerful bodyguard and coachman.

Apart from being jaw-dropping, some people also said that the food and clothing of Mr. Liangchen did not cost a penny in the mansion, and all the expenses were paid by the county magistrate Cao. If he is rich, every time he goes to the bank, the shopkeeper will personally receive him!

Of course, some people scolded him, but in fact, this Mr. Liang Chen is a very stingy master!Although he complained a lot about the food in the mansion, after a few days he saw that no one dumped him, he became honest. He just sent his servants out of the mansion to buy him some snacks alone, and the unfinished food was about to go bad. Only to reward the servants.Apart from being willing to spend money on himself, his servants are actually very pitiful. Not only are beatings and scolding common, but the monthly money is not as much as the servants in Situ's Mansion, and they are only willing to change into new clothes for those servants when they go out. long face...

Mrs. Ma finally wanted to teach these talkative servants a lesson, but when she walked towards a few maids with a ruler for making clothes with a cold face, she was excitedly talking about Caishuang, but when she saw Mrs. Ma, she stepped forward and hugged her and yelled "Mother..." Mrs. Ma was in tears, and Caishuang was stunned. She didn't know what was going on. Seeing Mrs. Ma was like seeing the scene where her mother tried to beat someone with a feather duster...

Ye Jianqiu didn't pay attention to these chaotic things, he remembered someone said a word, there are three types of people in love, the fool complains more, the benevolent keeps silent, and the wise don't remember.

And he was going to work on the farm, so he had to hurry up and organize his affairs.

First of all, he sold all his flowers, plants, fruit wine and other goods to Gu Shulin, and told him that he might not be able to do business for a while.Gu Shulin was very disappointed. Ye Jianqiu told him about the farm again, saying that the farm would produce a lot of things in the future, and asked him to wait patiently for a big business. Gu Shulin then smiled.

Ye Jianqiu marinated many jars of soy beans and salted eggs in one go in the mansion, and also pickled a jar of rotten eggs specially for Ye Xiaoxi.With tears in her eyes, Ye Xiaoxi was reluctant to let him go, and kept pulling on his sleeve like a follower.In the end, Ye Jianqiu had no choice but to tell him that if he missed him, he could go to the farm to play, and if possible, stay and help with the work, and then give him good fruit to eat!In the end, Ye Xiaoxi cried and said: "It's because I like rotten eggs that everyone recommends me to clean the hut. If I don't go to the farm, cleaning the hut there will definitely be exhausting!"

Ye Jianqiu also went to Xinghu.Mr. Xu saw him happily jumping up from behind the counter carrying licorice and tangerines. He happily took the medicinal materials, and unceremoniously made more requests, blood ganoderma, black lingsin, fairy Feet, Dendrobium, Cistanche, Durian...

durian? !

After finally bidding farewell to Mr. Xu, a difficult medical idiot, Ye Jianqiu came to Li's house as the last stop.

Li's spirit is still not very good, and she is sitting at the small table in the yard slowly knitting a sweater. She feels how heavy the sweater needles made from this tiny wooden stick are, and she is a little powerless.

Seeing Ye Jianqiu coming to the door, she got up and said, "Xiao Qiu, come and sit down."

"Auntie, how is your health?" Ye Jianqiu sat down and saw that her face was still a little pale, and her forehead was sweating profusely.

"I have no strength and can't eat, but it's better than a few days ago."

"Take a break. It's hot, and the palms of knitting sweaters are always sweaty."

Ye Jianqiu actually came to ask about the itinerary, if Mrs. Li decided to go to Yugu County, then he had to arrange a good time.

"Auntie, when shall we go to Yugu County to find Uncle Jingshi?"

"Wait until my aunt is in better spirits before going, otherwise I will always throw up when riding in a carriage, and I won't be able to hold on to the place at all."

"Well, when my aunt gets better, you can go to the farm to find me, and I will work there from now on."

"The mansion arranged for you to go to the farm? That's far away from my aunt..." Mrs. Li heard Ye Jianqiu talk about the farm, but she didn't expect that the child would go to work there so soon, so they would meet much less .

Li Shi was very disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face.

Mrs. Li put the wool work into the sewing basket and asked, "Xiaoqiu, did Mr. Situ wear the sweater that my aunt knitted last time? How is the effect?"

Ye Jianqiu shook his head: "He is very busy and has no time."

Situ Jin slept in the house for a full day and night, and left without even changing her clothes after waking up. Situ Jin like this is really distressing.Ye Jianqiu really wanted to follow him, no matter how hard it was, he could accompany him.But Situ Jin ordered him to go to work on the farm, and he didn't want to go against the other party's wishes. It seemed that Situ Jin attached great importance to the farm, and if the work on the farm was done, it could be regarded as sharing part of the pressure for Situ Jin.

Seeing Ye Jianqiu's disappointed expression, Mrs. Li immediately understood something, and she comforted her: "There is too much difference between hot and cold here in the morning and evening, and sweaters are not as convenient as leather jackets. After the sun comes out, you have to change them out. troublesome."

"Well, only for a short while."

"Xiaoqiu, you must have heard the saying that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it. It means that most generals have a straightforward personality and don't like to be procrastinated. Xiaoqiu is a careful child. Don't provoke him."

"I see."

Ye Jianqiu felt a warm current in his heart, and Li Shi was as caring and loving as an aunt.

Seeing that Ye Jianqiu's expression was still gloomy, Li said: "Xiaoqiu, my aunt always feels that you are a little lonely. You should have a happy smile at your age. Maybe you should make more friends of the same age who share the same interests. In your free time We can gather together, talk about the world, have a drink, or go on an outing together, and go to farther places together, where the vision is wide, and the mood will be comfortable."

"Aunt..."

"Xiaoqiu, walking with friends is like walking through the fog. Although your clothes are not wet, it always nourishes your heart. Try it, maybe you have a good friend who can talk to you often, and bring it to your aunt, who will make it for you. delicious."

"Thank you auntie."

Ye Jianqiu was very moved, Li Shi always made him feel very warm.

In a person's life, family affection, love, and friendship are the main themes in life.The Li family in front of him is as loving as an elder, and he has tasted the taste of family affection.As for love, although his flower of love is as fragile as a newly sprouted seed, he will take good care of it and cultivate it carefully until it blooms the most beautiful flower in the world!Friends are known to each other, and they are hard to come by. Ye Jianqiu waits patiently for the arrival of a good friend who can toast with him next month!

Years are long, Ye Jianqiu has hope for everything, life will never let down a hardworking person!
