Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

"Top-grade Yang brocade?" Mrs. Ma was deep in thought, this thing can still be bought with a little more money, it depends on whether the buyer is willing to pay the extra part of the fee.Based on this point, it is difficult to make a judgment, but one thing is certain, those who can afford Yang Jin are either powerful or rich.

No one in Xiaowufang is an official, so the right can be ruled out, so the only thing left is money.If you don't have enough money, you will only be treated as a money bag.The owner of Qinghefang sells small pieces of embroidery and playthings. The goods are not too delicate, and it is impossible to make a lot of money every day.Hearing that Zhong Qingran was very favored, his family must have paid a lot to provide him with good things.From this, Mrs. Ma concluded that Xiao Wufang would not pose a threat to her family, so it was nothing to worry about.

"That's it?" Mrs. Ma was a little dissatisfied.

"Ma'am, the third young master directly ordered me to go out. There are guests, and the slaves dare not disobey, so they can only obey orders." Get lost, don't mention how aggrieved you are.

"Oh, it's interesting to have such a big temper. You did the right thing, let's go down." Mashi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and the waiters around him didn't even dare to breathe.Don't look at Da Furen's kindness, she doesn't care about old feelings when she does things, if anyone violates her taboo, the end will not be very good.

After Zhong Qingshu sent everyone away, Zhong Qingran put away his smile and asked with a calm face, "Qingshu, what's going on?"

"As you can see..." Zhong Qingshu had nothing to hide from his friend who knew everything about him, he poured everything out, and didn't even hide his emotions.

The more Zhong Qingran heard it, the darker his face became. He deeply felt that a wealthy family is by no means something ordinary people can play with.They had thought too well before. If someone really wants Zhong Qingshu's life, even if he escapes once or twice with the amulet, he will not be able to escape five or six times. The luck attached to the amulet is limited and will eventually be exhausted. that day.

"Qingshu, take out the amulet and let me see if it works."

"You can see this?" Zhong Qingshu didn't believe it, but he still took out the amulet from his chest and handed it to Zhong Qingran.

As soon as the amulet saw the light, Zhong Qingran found that there was not much luck attached to it, and it consumed far more than the two amulets worn by Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.He frowned, and re-attached luck, this time much more than last time.Zhong's family in Shangjing was too dangerous, it was impossible for him to go to Beijing every year, so he could only provide more security for Zhong Qingshu.

After finishing it, Zhong Qingran returned the amulet to Zhong Qingshu, and said solemnly: "You wear this amulet, and don't let anyone see it except me, it is said that it will bring more blessings to the wearer. "

"..." Zhong Qingshu didn't know what to say, but he instinctively followed what Zhong Qingran said, which would only benefit him and not harm him.

"Put these away." Zhong Qingran untied his robe, and took out a bunch of small porcelain bottles from the built-in belt, "It's similar to the medicine I gave you last time, but this time there are a few more, after reading the usage, burn it."

Jian Mingyu originally wanted to avoid some people, but this is already an inner room, and the outer room is Xingping, which is even more inconvenient. Seeing that Zhong Qingran didn't care, he didn't care, and took off the medicine bottle on him as well.

Zhong Qingshu put it away carefully, and then they talked about other things.

"This is your share of the income from the shrimp pond this year. These are given to you by Qingzhu. This is a little bit of my heart." Zhong Qingran took out a purse from his sleeve pocket, opened it, and pointed it to Zhong Qingshu one by one. The purse was stuffed into Zhong Qingshu's arms.

"I'll take everything else. The money doesn't seem to be necessary. I don't even have room to spend it." Zhong Qingshu's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were flushed red. To make such two good friends, he has never been in vain in his life. live.

"Put it away. It may not be needed now, but it may not be necessary in the future." Zhong Qingran put the purse back into Zhong Qingshu's hands, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "What are your plans? You can't keep doing this, right? This is too passive." , If something really happens, we are beyond our reach, and we don't even have a chance to help."

Zhong Qingshu was silent. In the situation of being isolated from the outside world, he could think of very few solutions. What he can do now is to take one step at a time.

At this moment, Zhong Qingran felt powerless like never before.He has the lucky luck beads by his side, but the lucky luck beads are not omnipotent. It's okay to use them on himself. They have many functions, so he doesn't have to worry about them at all.If it is used on others, it can only be like a talisman, with luck attached to it, and luck can be used to avoid disasters.

It's no wonder Zhong Qingran thinks this way, so far, he hasn't figured out how luck works.He lives in Hewan Village by himself, and there are not many opportunities to use the lucky luck beads in normal times. He is not sure how much luck it will take to be safe in the face of danger.

For example, someone shoots an arrow unexpectedly, and the target person unconsciously moves a little, like a prophet, to avoid the deadly threat, or the archer sprains on the ground, and the arrow misses.When this kind of thing happened, Zhong Qingran could only lament that this person's luck was against the heavens, and that he was able to turn bad luck into good luck and turn danger into safety before he got the lucky luck beads.Now, he knows that such an unimaginable thing, with enough luck, will definitely happen.

It's just that Zhong Qingran has no way of knowing that this kind of situation will consume the lowest amount of luck.That's the problem, he can't take the risk himself in order to get the exact quantity, he believes in the ability of Fu Yunzhu, but he can't trust 100%.He cherishes his life very much, and he will not make fun of his own life unless it is absolutely necessary.There is no absolute, if the lucky luck beads don't work at that moment, he can only hehe.He couldn't bear the consequences.

What Zhong Qingran can do now is to add as much luck as possible to Zhong Qingshu's amulet.

In the previous epidemic, Zhong Qingran almost used up his luck, but now he used the prescriptions he provided to treat many infected patients.Due to his great contribution, Zhong Qingran received a lot of good luck, but it was far less than what he expected.

What Zhong Qingran didn't know was that even if he didn't take action, someone would stop the spread of the epidemic, and the timing was just right, just before the end of the epidemic. As a result, the luck accumulated by the lucky beads would be greatly reduced.

Zhong Qingran thought for a while, and suggested: "How about this, before I leave, leave some people for you, if they can't enter your house, then let them stay outside and be responsible for collecting information about your house. If you encounter serious troubles, You just let the person you recruited send out a message. Put one on the bright side, and keep the rest in the dark, so that if the person you recruited makes a mistake, it will not lead to the annihilation of the entire army."

After talking a lot, Zhong Qingran's mouth was a little dry, he took a few sips from his teacup, and then said: "On the surface, that person will not have anything to do with your family except for connecting with the person you sent out. Relationship. In this way, the chances of him being discovered can be greatly reduced, and there is no need to change people. As for those people in the dark, try to find a way to build a relationship with your servants, and inquire about all kinds of things in your family. News. If you lose contact here, they may be able to help you."

Zhong Qingshu frowned, lost in thought.He felt that this method was very promising, and his face finally looked better.This year has really suffocated him, although Xingping and the others were trapped in the small courtyard, at least they were not restricted to move around.In order to pretend to be sick, he can only spend most of the time in the room.On days like this, patients don't feel much, but normal people can't bear it.If it weren't for Zhong Qingshuben, he wouldn't be a lively and unrestrained person, I'm afraid he would be sick even if he wasn't sick.

Zhong Qingran admired Zhong Qingshu's resilience.He can also live at home, provided that he is voluntary, and he has to go out from time to time to let the wind go.If one day he got trapped for no reason, he estimated that he might not be able to reach the level like Zhong Qingshu.Leaving aside the others, just having this point, as long as one's luck is not too bad, one can definitely make a career out of it.

"It's useless to say any more, I'll accept this love." Zhong Qingshu said very seriously, his eyes that were a bit dim before became bright again.

After thinking of a way to deal with it, the atmosphere in the room eased down.Zhong Qingran was also interested in mentioning important events in his life: "Qingshu, I will marry Mingyu a few years ago, so congratulate me."

Zhong Qingshu was a little stunned. After realizing it, he immediately burst into a big smile, stepped forward to give Zhong Qingran a hug, and said joyfully: "You are so thick-skinned, do you ask for congratulations like this? But, as your brother, knowingly It’s not good for you to do this, but it’s still as you wish, I’m here, I wish you and your sister-in-law peace and joy, and grow old together! It’s just a pity that I can’t attend your wedding ceremony.”

When the words fell, Zhong Qingshu got up and walked to a corner of the room, dug out something from the box, handed it to Zhong Qingran, and said: "This is what my mother left for me. If I give it to you, it will be treated as a gift for you in advance." present."

Zhong Qingran carefully looked at the thing in the palm of his hand. According to his preliminary judgment, it should be a sapphire, and the specific value is difficult to judge.He didn't care about these things, what he valued was this kind of intention, so he didn't push back and forth hypocritically, and responded very straightforwardly: "Okay, I'll accept this, and it's just a jewelry for Mingyu."

"I knew there might be such a day, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon. Your grandparents are so kind to you. Qingran, you must cherish this love." Zhong Qingshu himself could not get the love of his elders , but he won't get angry about it, instead, he values ​​it more, and hopes that his only friend can live a lifetime of peace of mind.

"That's right, it's up to you to say." Zhong Qingran had a smug look on his face, which really made people itch.

Before you know it, time flies by.

"I'll leave in a few days, take care of yourself." Parting is always sad, and Zhong Qingran doesn't want to see such a scene.As soon as the words fell, he walked away quickly without looking back.

Zhong Qingshu leaned against the door, his eyes were a little moist, he resisted it until he watched the two disappear at the gate of the courtyard, then pretended to move back to the inner room with a quilt, and vented the negative emotions accumulated over the past year.

After leaving Zhong's house in Shangjing, Zhong Qingran was not interested in wandering around anymore, and fell asleep after an early dinner to calm down the hostility that arose during the day.As a human being, it is better to be calm, so that you can consider things more comprehensively, and your reason will not be easily replaced by impulse.

The next day, Zhong Qingran got up early, and took Jian Mingyu and Wang Huwei to Fen County.

Fen County is a neighboring county of Shangjing, not far from Shangjing, and a horse-drawn carriage can run back and forth in one morning.The reason why Zhong Qingran came here was for the simple purpose of buying someone.In order to avoid leaving a tail as much as possible, Zhong Qingran ran dozens of miles away, and he worked hard.There was no way, this was related to Zhong Qingshu's safety, so he had to treat it with caution.

This time the selection was rather hasty, and Zhong Qing didn't want to go to the government to register, otherwise the files would be left behind, and once he was found, the carrots and mud would be pulled out, and everyone would have nowhere to hide.Therefore, Zhong Qingran didn't have much choice, and the scope was limited to those who sold themselves for the first time.

It was very simple for Zhong Qingran to choose a candidate, with clear eyes, honest appearance and honest appearance.He doesn't have to consider the issue of loyalty, those who are not righteous will be automatically rejected by Fu Yunzhu, and they are not in his choice at all.

Soon, Zhong Qingran picked someone, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged couple with no children.After receiving the contract of sale signed by the three of them, Zhong Qingran explained clearly what they were going to do, and then left them a sum of money, then divided the three of them into two groups, and asked them to take a ride to the capital to settle down by themselves, and then look for work. Dry.

After finishing this matter, Zhong Qingran and his party immediately returned to Shangjing.

In the next few days, after the burden was relieved, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu went shopping in Beijing and bought a lot of things.

Seeing that he was about to leave Shangjing tomorrow, Zhong Qingran told Guard Wang that he would not have to worry about the rest of the matter. The people behind them would soon learn the news from the three guards.

This night, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu took a rest early to recharge their energy so they could better cope with the long and bumpy journey ahead.

Early in the morning, Zhong Qingran's convoy slowly left the city gate.

Looking at the city that was getting smaller and smaller, Zhong Qingran felt a little disappointed and also a little happy.The former is because they will not see Zhong Qingshu for a long time, and the latter is because they will soon be able to return to Hewan Village and see their grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters.

Fortunately, Zhong Qingran had told Mr. and Mrs. Zhong beforehand that he might go back later, otherwise, if they didn't return, wouldn't the family have to worry about it?

There were no accidents on the return journey. After half a month of trekking, Zhong Qingran returned to Hewan Village where he had lived for more than a year.He swept away the fatigue accumulated from the long journey, and rushed home with excitement.

"Grandpa, grandma, Mingyu and I are back."

Hearing a familiar voice from outside, Tong quickly put down the work in her hands, but she didn't expect that when she got up, she made too much noise and knocked over the basket placed beside her, but she didn't care, and let the things scattered on the floor, almost In one step, he rushed to Zhong Qingran who had just entered the yard.Mr. Zhong was no better than Mrs. Tong, so he arrived a little later.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Tong Shi took Zhong Qingran's hand, up and down, left and right, back and forth, checked it carefully, and made sure it was intact before letting him go.

"Old lady, don't stick around here. Didn't you see that Qingran and Mingyu are very tired? You go get some food and let them eat and sleep." Mr. Zhong smiled, obviously in a very good mood.

"Grandpa, grandma, don't be too busy. I ate with Mingyu on the way, and I'm not hungry yet." Seeing Tong Shi walking towards the kitchen, Zhong Qingran hastily stopped her.

"That's all right, take a rest, the old lady and I won't bother you." Mr. Zhong turned and entered the upper room.

It can be said that Zhong Qingran fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, and when he woke up, it was already noon.This time he slept soundly, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed, and Zhong Qingran couldn't help feeling deeply, that nothing was as good as home.

"Grandpa, where's Mingyu?" Zhong Qingran looked at the yard, but he couldn't find anyone, so he asked Mr. Zhong.

"He's gone home." Mr. Zhong sat cross-legged on the kang, and asked with concern, "Qingran, why did you come back now? It's only a few days before we got married. Something happened?"

"Well, it's also a coincidence that we caught up with the flood in Yuzhou City. Fortunately, we were lucky. When the flood came, we happened to be walking along the mountain road. Then the epidemic happened again, and we were trapped in Banshan Village. I didn’t continue to leave until the epidemic was lifted, so it was a bit late to come back.”

Zhong Qingran said it easily, but Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were terrified when they heard it.In case something goes wrong, wouldn't it mean that heaven and man will be separated forever?

Seeing the pale faces of the two elders, Zhong Qingran hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, I'm fine. It's not like you don't know that I have been blessed by God since I was a child. Turning evil into good is no problem. You don’t always say that I am a blessed person, how could I be taken back by God so easily?”

"You can." Tong's complexion improved a bit, but he still had lingering fears, "Don't travel far in the future. If you go for such a long time, your grandfather can't even sleep well at night, and he won't eat well."

Mr. Zhong glanced at Tong Shi angrily. The old lady liked to use him as a shield, and she didn't want to think about who was more deeply involved.He didn't refute. In front of his grandson, he had to save some face for his wife.

This is not the first time Zhong Qingran has seen such a thing. He happily watched the two elders get along in harmony, and he was very happy. What could make people feel more at ease than a happy family?

"Well, it's okay, I won't go out again." Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Zhong looking at him with expectant eyes, Zhong Qingran had to rack his brains to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Well, yes, "Grandpa, grandma, Otherwise, if I really need to travel far in the future, you can accompany me, is that okay?"

"Okay, that's it." Tong Shi made a final decision.

Mr. Zhong and his wife are getting old, and their children have their own families. The other grandchildren are taken care of by their parents, so they don't need to worry about it.The focus of the two elders' lives was entirely on Zhong Qingran. If something happened to Zhong Qingran, they probably wouldn't live long.

Zhong Qingran saw this very clearly.He had only been away for two or three months, and Mr. Zhong and his wife looked haggard. If he had an accident, the consequences would be unimaginable.It was also because of this that Zhong Qingran came up with such a method, so as to reassure the hearts of the two elders.

"Your parents visited you before, and saw you sleeping, so they went back first. I haven't seen you for a few months, and they are also very worried about you. You go and see them." Mr. Zhong said, Zhong Qingran naturally obeyed, and then, This is what it should be, and he has no reason not to take such a trip.

The new house is not far from the ancestral house, and Zhong Qingran arrived there not long after walking.

"Qing'er, come and see, third brother brought you some good things." Zhong Qingran shouted loudly as soon as he entered the gate of the ancestral house.

Soon, there was the sound of running in the courtyard.

"Third brother, why did you go to Beijing for so long? I miss you so much." Zhong Qing rushed towards Zhong Qingran, threw herself into his arms, and said with joy.

"It's a long story, let's go to the main room and talk about it." Zhong Qingran just took a step, but was stopped by Zhong Qing.

"Third Brother, I'll help you carry it." After speaking, Zhong Qing took action.

"Okay, it's still Qing'er who knows how much she loves third brother, you take this." Zhong Qingran smiled with brows and eyes crooked, feeling happy in his heart.He can't do hard work and always hopes to be rewarded for his hard work. Now he has seen the results.It seemed that his intentions were not in vain.

Zhong Qing staggered ahead carrying a bag of things, not feeling tired at all.

After meeting his parents, Zhong Qingran received another round of inquiries from them, and he answered them patiently one by one, and finally comforted them all the same.

"Father, mother, this is a gift I brought back from Shangjing. Take a look. If anyone doesn't like it, tell me. If I still have it, I'll give you another one."

Ming flipped through the pages, frowned slightly and said, "It's all good, but next time, don't spend so much money, your money is pretty tight."

"It's okay, it's not short of this money. It's a rare trip to the capital. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't buy more? I don't know if there is a chance to go there again."

"You just need to understand it in your heart, remember to spend money not to be extravagant." Zhong Zhengren couldn't help admonishing a few words, as for listening or not, he really couldn't care less.Even so, as a father, what should be said still has to be said.

"Well, I know." Zhong Qingran readily agreed, he could feel the love from his father.

"Go and call your grandparents over and have dinner together tonight." After Zhong Zhengren ordered Zhong Qingran, he turned to Zhong Qing again, "Girl Qing, go and call your fourth uncle's family over."

"Yes, father." Zhong Qing replied crisply.

Zhong Qingran and Zhong Qing walked slowly on the road. They hadn't seen each other for several months. The siblings seemed to have endless conversations, but most of the time it was Zhong Qing who was talking and Zhong Qingran was listening.

Soon, they reached a fork in the road, and the brother and sister moved separately.

Zhong Qing trotted into Zhong Zhengzhi's house, and said cheerfully, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, come to my house for dinner at night, and grandparents will come too."

"Okay, Fourth Aunt will go over to help in a while. Girl Xiao, Cheng'er, you go with Girl Qing first." Mrs. Liu quickened her movements so that she could rush to the old house as soon as possible.

"Fourth sister, will third brother also go there?" Zhong Qingcheng tugged on Zhong Qing's sleeve, opened a pair of big black eyes, looked at her without blinking, and Zhong Xiao did the same.

"Of course, you will be able to see the third brother in a while." Zhong Qing held one in each hand and walked towards home with cheerful steps, "The third brother has already returned, so how can we miss him?"

The three little guys, you say something, I say something, they chattered endlessly along the way, and they couldn't stop when they reached the old house.

"Grandpa, I'll call Mingyu, you go over first." Zhong Qingran reported, and then turned to Jian Mingyu's house.

"This kid, it's true, how long have we been separated, and he misses you so much? This stickiness is really unbearable." Tong shook her head helplessly.

Mr. Zhong smiled and said nothing, it was better than the two of them ignoring each other.

"Mingyu." Zhong Qingran pushed the courtyard door and found that it couldn't be opened, so he shouted loudly.

After waiting for a while, Jian Mingyu came out to answer the door.

"Busy again?" Although he was asking, Zhong Qingran's tone was very firm.

"Well, you come in first." When Zhong Qingran entered the yard, Jian Mingyu locked the door again, "Follow me to the cellar."

"What's wrong?" Zhong Qingran was puzzled, could something have happened?

"A lot of people froze to death." Zhong Qingran said with a calm face and annoyance, which is really rare.

"Oh, this, I've expected it a long time ago. It's okay, just make less money." Zhong Qingran didn't take it seriously, and he knew this would be the result before he left.

"I asked the fire to be added in the morning and in the evening, but I didn't expect it to be the same." Jian Mingyu felt a little heartbroken, that was a lot of money.

"Don't think about it, if you don't tell Ming Chen to do this, maybe the loss will be even more serious." Zhong Qingran is very optimistic, the money is gone, and the money will be earned.

"Well, you're right." Jian Mingyu is not the kind of person who is obsessed with the past, and after feeling distressed, he let it go.

Soon, Zhong Qingran went down to the cellar, and the situation inside was indeed not very good.
