My family has fields waiting to be cultivated

A meal can be regarded as a feast for the host and guests, and even Zhuqing, who has always been expressionless, drank a few more glasses unconsciously. Of course, these extra drinks are nothing to him at all. At best, it can only be regarded as quenching his thirst, but what surprised and amuses everyone is that Mourning, who is the host, is not drunk. Some are dumbfounding.

For the first time in Nangong Ye's life, he felt a little helpless. Niu, who was eating at the same table with them just now, drank the most. It's not good, is it?At first, he saw Mourning drinking one cup after another so briskly, and thought that the other party's drinking capacity was very good, but he didn't expect that it was not useful, and he really couldn't take anything for granted.

Fortunately, the other party's wine was quite good, even if he was drunk, he just fell asleep quietly on the table, just facing Nangong Ye, and from his perspective, he could just see the other party's pair of glasses that usually looked very beautiful. The clean and penetrating eyes were lightly squinted, the pink lips became rosy because of the alcohol, and the cheeks were flushed, looking a few years younger than the flat ends.

Nangong Ye raised his brows, he usually thought he looked quite young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but now he looks even smaller, I really can't see that the other party has a two-year-old son Well, if I don't say anything, I believe that no one will regard the little baby as his son. Of course, people in ancient times always married early and had children early, so Nangong Ye was just surprised, but he didn't doubt it too much. After all, there are many It's someone who became a father early on.

"Master, what should we do now?" Nangong Ye was watching Mourning engrossed in his thoughts, and Lan Qi suddenly asked, but there was not much worry in his expression, on the contrary, there was some element of optimism, and he knew his point Zhu Qing, who feared that the world would not be chaotic, glanced at him coldly, with a faint warning in his eyes, Lan Qi shrugged indifferently, and stopped talking.

Only then did Zhuqing say: "Master, it's getting late. Madam told you to go back early tonight. Master and Madam have something to discuss with you." When he was leaving the house just now, Madam Nangong sent to call him The maid in the past said that she had important matters to discuss with Nangong Ye, but because she had agreed to Mo Ning's invitation early in the morning, Nangong Ye told the maid that she would go back early tonight and talk about things later.

Nangong Ye naturally remembered it. He nodded wordlessly, but his eyes still did not move away from Mourning. He mused, thinking about how to arrange Mourning in this way. He had already asked someone to investigate Mourning's matter. Well, there are only three adults and two children left in the whole Mo Mo restaurant at night. The man named A Niu could have taken care of Mourning, but it is a pity that A Niu drank more than Mourning tonight He is still drunk and needs other people's care more than Mourning. His wife, Mrs. Niu, must stay with A Niu to take care of him. In this case, there will be only two children left, which is tantamount to having nothing.

In such a situation, no one thought that none of them was drunk as the invited guests, but the two of them, as the hosts, were getting more drunk than the other, and they needed someone to take care of them.

After pondering for a moment, Nangong Ye said: "Zhuqing, you should take him back to the room first." The other party's wine was very good, he didn't cry or make trouble, he just lay quietly on the table, so send him back to the room That's fine, as for the mess on the table...

Nangong Ye smiled slightly, turned her phoenix eyes to Lan Qi, and said with a smile: "You can stay and clean up here."

"Master!" Lan Qi's eyes widened, "I protest!"

"The protest is invalid!" Nangong Ye didn't raise his eyes.After finishing speaking, Shi Shi ran out, "I'll go back first, and you guys will follow."

"Why is this so!" Lan Qi frowned dissatisfied and shouted, but could only helplessly look at Nangong Yeshi's figure disappearing into the night, while Zhu Qing gloated in a seemingly cold tone: "You Is it so easy for you to watch the good show of the master?" I don't even think about what kind of character his master is, how easy it is for people to watch the good play?

After listening to Zhu Qing's words, Lan Qi immediately dissatisfied and said: "It's the master who is too treacherous! Besides, it's normal for me to think so!" He frowned, pointed at Mourning and said, "Don't you think the master is too treacherous?" Is the attitude towards this person really suspicious?" He really felt that his grandfather's behavior today was so strange that he had to be suspicious, and more importantly, he hadn't seen him until now. Who would his grandfather care about so much?

Zhuqing didn't even lift her eyelids, "That's because the food he cooks suits my master's wishes."

"Please!" Lan Qi widened his eyes and said in amazement: "Your motivation is really getting better and better. The meals made by my master's master are not as good as my master's heart, but look at the master's attitude towards his master? It's right. Can this person's attitude be compared? Seeing that he was drunk, he left the two most powerful subordinates around him, and even let me, Lan Qi, a martial arts expert like me, help him clean up the place with little use!"

Zhu Qing glanced at him expressionlessly, and said coldly, "I'm afraid this is the real reason for your dissatisfaction?"

"You—" Lan Qi was choked, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak. Seeing this, Zhuqing didn't plan to pay attention to him. She walked up to Mourning and stretched out her hand to pull Mourning up, and put Mourning's bracelet on her On his own neck, and then wrapped his arms around his waist, but couldn't help but pause slightly.

——This man's waist is really thin. Although it's not as thin as the girl's, it's about the same.Really, it's too weak, the man's figure is so slender, he's really too weak, don't protect others, not even yourself, a stronger person might knock him down with a single punch.

Thinking, he looked at the unconscious person, because they were supporting each other, the two were very close, and the close contact could even let him see the thin white hairs on the other's face, and at this moment drinking The whole body of a drunk person is limp, and almost all the weight of his body is on him. The drunk person is the heaviest, even such a slender young man is no exception.

"Momo..." The drunk man smacked his lips, and suddenly reached out to hug Zhuqing, "...Daddy hug..." in a coaxing tone like a child.

"..." Zhu Qing calmly withdrew her gaze, half-embracing the other party and walked out, Lan Qi beside her chased after him unwillingly, "Wait for me, I'll help you over there, later you have to help I'll clean it up together!" Shouting to put Mourning's other hand on her shoulder, Zhuqing glanced at him with expressionless eyes, without refusing.

So Lan Qi happily put the other hand around Mourning's waist, and then said in surprise: "His waist is so thin!" Feeling here and there on his waist, "Hey, no wonder Grandpa has never been interested in those girls who throw himself into his arms. It turns out that Grandpa is not interested in beauties, but beautiful boys!"

Zhuqing frowned inadvertently, her cold eyes drifted past his dishonest hand, and finally landed on the other's amazed face, and said coldly: "You better pray that the master doesn't really have a crush on him .”

Lan Qi was surprised, "Why?"

"Otherwise, do you think the master will let go of a pervert who took advantage of him?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lan Qi's wolf paws that were still touching Mourning's waist. Lan Qi was startled, and immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, and raised his voice guiltily, "Don't you hug his waist yourself?"

Zhu Qing was quite satisfied with his reaction, but still had a cold face on his face, "At least I didn't touch it." After speaking, she quickened her pace and shook off Lan Qi who was struggling.

"Tch, it's still not the same!" Lan Qi who stayed on the spot muttered dissatisfiedly, resting his hands on the back of his head, and walked back carelessly, so he missed the faint smile that emerged from the corner of Zhu Qing's mouth, whose back was turned. radian.

He returned to the hall, looked at the mess on the table, and felt completely helpless. He grew up so big, and he had never done this kind of work before. His father was really too stingy, but he just made a joke. That's all, is there a need to repay him like this?It is simply overkill!How can you use a bull's knife to kill a chicken?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt unconvinced, but due to his father's previous convictions, he knew that if he didn't follow his father's orders today, the next order would make him even more helpless, so what's the point of not being convinced? use?He sighed faintly, deeply feeling that his life with such a cunning master was as lonely as snow.

He rolled up his sleeves resignedly to his fate, but a voice sounded like heaven to him came from behind, "Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute." Mrs. Niu had just settled the drunk Niu, and when she came in, she saw Lan Qi, who rolled up her sleeves and was about to clean up the mess, was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her. Aning even said that they are distinguished guests, how can they let the distinguished guests do these things?

Lan Qi's eyes lit up when he heard Niu Sao's voice, and he turned around quickly, with the expression of seeing his mother, "Niu Sao!" He knew that he was born to do great things. Will you watch him do these things with his overqualified talents?

Mrs. Niu was taken aback by his unusually enthusiastic attitude, and couldn't help but slow down, thinking why this person's attitude is so strange?Could it be that the honored guest whom Ah Ning asked thousands of times was actually a... lunatic with some problems in his mind?

Just thinking about this, she suddenly thought of the most important guest, "Where is Master Nangong? Where has he gone? And where is A-Ning?" Mrs. Niu felt very strange, why did the person who was here just now Are they all gone?

Lan Qi said: "Master has something to leave first, your master is drunk, Ah Qing just sent him back to his room to rest, I was about to pack up, when you came."

"Oh, that's it." Mrs. Niu nodded, and immediately said as he wished: "You are a guest, how can I ask you to clean up? You sit down for a while, and I will clean up."

Lan Qi couldn't get what he wanted, so he didn't even shirk, immediately put his sleeves down, and said with a smile: "Then it's hard work for you."

Mrs. Niu smiled, and said: "This is our job." While talking, Lan Qi tidied up his hands and feet, and Lan Qi followed behind Mrs. Niu leisurely with his hands behind his back, chatting: "Sister-in-law, How did you and your master know each other?" According to the news he sent someone to investigate, we can only know that Mourning appeared here two months ago, and it is said that it was because he met a bandit and the bandit killed him. He fell down a cliff and hurt his foot. Later, he met A Niu who was going up the mountain to cut firewood, so he asked A Niu to take him home and stayed there until now.

He wanted to know something from Mrs. Niu's mouth. Sure enough, Mrs. Niu, who was not wary of them because of Mourning's instructions, replied without any doubt when she heard his question: "Speaking of this It was a coincidence that my family didn't go up the mountain to cut firewood every day, but it happened that day, when Mourning and his son came out of the mountain, they met my family. Speaking of it, Aning was too unlucky I originally planned to find relatives, but I didn't expect that relatives could not be found. Instead, they met bandits and broke their feet. Fortunately, they met my family, otherwise he wouldn't know that he would still be in that deep mountain How long does it take to circle in the wild forest!"

"You said he was planning to find relatives? Then he didn't find any relatives?" Lan Qi raised his eyebrows, his face was incomprehensible, but his heart moved. There is a bit of a discrepancy in what the grandfather said. When Mourning told his grandfather, he clearly said that he met a bandit and fell off the cliff. Not only did he hurt his foot, but he also hit his head. He forgot some very important things... …

Could it be that Mourning is lying?But why would he lie?

"That's right, he originally planned to go to his relatives, but because the relatives could not be found, Ah Ning decided to stay here and settle down." Mrs. Niu continued to say without doubting him.

"Hearing what you said, isn't Mourning now unaccompanied except for one son?"

"Yeah, it's not easy for Ah Ning at such a young age." Mrs. Niu stopped cleaning the dishes and couldn't help sighing.

Zhuqing sent Mourning back to the room, put him on the bed and went to sleep, and then came out. Before he entered the hall where he had eaten just now, he heard Niu's wife's voice full of sighs, and then saw Mourning with his hands behind his back, looking graceful. The leisurely Lan Qi raised his brows lightly, and said coldly: "Lan Qi, have you forgotten the master's order?"

As if the voice of asking for Yan Luo's life suddenly sounded behind him, Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around quickly, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Qing standing at the door and looking at him coldly, the expression on his face collapsed, and he said with a mournful face. : "I haven't forgotten, it's this sister-in-law who won't let me clean up! Sister-in-law, tell him that you didn't let me clean up!" What he hates the most is Zhuqing, who obviously looks like a He has a lofty and indifferent appearance, but he is the one who likes to make small reports. Every time he doesn't obey Nangong Ye's order and slack off, he will definitely be plotted against him. It's really annoying!

Mrs. Niu didn't know what happened, but seeing Lan Qi's really anxious look, she also chimed in and said, "Yeah, I didn't let him clean it up. You are distinguished guests, how can you let you clean it up?" What about it? If Aning finds out, he will say that we are neglecting the distinguished guests." This is also true. Before they came, Mourning kept reminding them to treat the guests tonight carefully, and never Can make them feel unsatisfied.

Moreover, she also knew from Mourning that the matter of Momo Restaurant could be resolved so easily because of the help of Master Nangong. Just for this, it was enough to make Madam Niu feel grateful to them, how dare they let them clean it up? something?

Hearing Mrs. Niu's words, Zhu Qing glanced at Lan Qi indifferently, and finally let him go out of kindness. She took out a few stacked and folded papers from her bosom, handed them to Mrs. Niu, and said lightly : "The master ordered me to bring it to Mr. Ning, but Mr. Ning is drunk now, so I ask you to pass it on for me."

"What is this?" Mrs. Niu wiped her hand on her apron and took it over. It was a blank piece of paper full of words. She had never read a book, so she couldn't understand what was written on it. , but since the other party confessed to her so carefully, it must be very important, right?

Zhu Qing said: "Here are three pieces of paper, two of which are the household registrations of Mr. Ning and his son in Licheng, and one is the deed of prostitution of another little boy. The master said, it should be regarded as a copy he gave to Mr. Ning. Small gift, please accept it with a smile."

"Ah?" After listening to Zhuqing's explanation, Mrs. Niu held the three pieces of paper, as if she was stunned and couldn't say anything. Mo Ning went to the government to handle household registration, that Mr. Nangong was really thoughtful!But Chen Chen's contract of selling himself?What's going on here?Didn't Chen Chen be picked up by Ah Ning outside?How could there be such a thing as a contract of sale?Because Ah Ning didn't think she mentioned Chen Chen's matter to Niu Sao, so Niu Sao and Ah Niu always thought that Chen Chen was just picked up by Mourning from outside.

Mrs. Niu felt that the gift Nangong Ye gave Mourning was very big. She didn't know whether she should accept it for Mourning first. When she was about to refuse, she thought about it and thought she should accept it because she wanted to go It is very difficult for the government to do the so-called household registration without any backing. Dealing with the government has always required a lot of money and connections.

So in the end Mrs. Niu said: "Then I will take it for Aning first, and I will give it to him when Aning wakes up tomorrow." Let's see what Aning has to say then.

"Yeah." Zhuqing nodded, "Then we won't bother you, let's take our leave first."

Auntie Niu folded the paper in her hand and carefully put it in her bosom, and said, "Well, let me take you out."

"Don't bother, sister-in-law, let's go get busy." Zhu Qing said, and if she glanced at Lan Qi indifferently, Lan Qi immediately understood, and immediately said: "Yeah, sister-in-law still needs to pack things, ah, yes, And those two kids just now, I don’t know where they went.”

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Mrs. Niu began to hesitate. At this moment, she really couldn't leave. After hesitating for a while, she finally said: "Then I won't see you off, and I will come more when I have time." Drop by."

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Niu and coming out of Momo Restaurant, the night was already dark, the two walked side by side, Lan Qi rested his hands on the back of his head, and said casually, "I really didn't expect the master to keep such a trick. "He thought that his master only asked him to solve the matter of being framed by someone at Mo Mo Restaurant, but he didn't expect his master to ask Ah Qing to help him apply for a household registration.

Zhuqing was silent and didn't make a sound.

Lan Qi didn't mind either, and said to himself: "But what about the little boy's deed of prostitution?" He was very curious about this matter, could it be that the little boy was stolen by Mourning from the trafficker?

"The little boy was originally sold by his parents to a street performer, but then he escaped by himself and recognized Mr. Ning as his master." These were found out by the way when his father asked him to investigate Mourning Yes, A Niu and his wife are natives of Li Village, and they have never left Li Village in their whole life. Except that A Niu occasionally returns to Licheng to buy some daily necessities and send firewood to Nangong Mansion, they have always stayed in Li Village. If Mourning hadn't invited them to Licheng to help him this time, maybe they would never have left Licun for the rest of their lives.

"So that's the case." Lan Qi nodded to show that he understood, "I just learned something from that woman."

"what's up?"

So Lan Qi told him what he heard from Mrs. Niu, and finally he concluded: "Look, what the woman said is somewhat different from what Mourning told the master, don't you think it's a bit suspicious?"

Zhu Qing nodded, and agreed in a rare way: "It is indeed a bit suspicious." And when investigating Mourning's origin, it was only found that the other party appeared in Li Village two months ago, with a two-year-old grandma beside him. Baby, all the way to the past, you can only find that the other party came from the north, but no matter how many there are, there are no more. The specific situation may have to wait for a while to know.

"But I don't think he looks like a bad guy. Maybe he is hiding something because he has some unspeakable secrets?" I believe everyone who has seen Mourning will think so, such a pair of clear and penetrating eyes, It will never be the possession of a malicious person.

Listening to his speculation, Zhuqing turned her head to look at him, and said calmly: "Whether he is a bad person or not, at least one thing is certain, he is not from Yuguo."

"Not from Yuguo?" Lan Qi really didn't think about this at all, so he was very surprised, and even his eyes became serious, "Why are you so sure that he is not from Yuguo?" Lan Qi was very curious. Is there anything on his body that can make them believe that he is not from Yuguo?

Zhu Qing said: "I only noticed after listening to my master's words that he has a pierced ear in his left ear, and the men in our Yu country don't have the habit of piercing their ears, only Li Guo and Qi Guo in the far north Only Chinese men have a piercing in their left ear."

"Does he really have a piercing in his left ear?" Lan Qi knew about this, because he had a friend who was from Li Guo, and at that time he laughed because he had a piercing in his left ear The other party has been in the same country for a long time, and it is also because of this that he has learned about the habit of Li Guo and Qi Guo. It was divided into two and became the current Li State and Qi State. Therefore, many customs between the two countries are the same, but the river is the boundary between the two countries, and they do not invade each other. year time.

"Yeah." Zhu Qing nodded, "My master told me a few days ago, and I observed it today, and there is indeed a hole in his left ear."

"Then he doesn't wear earrings?"

The men of Li Guo and Qi Guo usually have their ears pierced when they are three years old. After piercing their ears, they have been stuffed with tea leaves. When they get married, they wear earrings made of jade. It all depends on the person's family background.

Zhuqing shook her head, "No."

"Not wearing earrings?" Lan Qi exclaimed, "Where did he get his son if he didn't wear earrings?" And his son is almost two years old!Could it be that he had a child out of wedlock, and that's why he took his son into exile?I heard that it is against the law to have a child out of wedlock in Li country and Qi country, and in severe cases, they will be sentenced to death. If this is the case, it's no wonder he ran away, but what about his wife?Why didn't you escape with him?

"You can't be sure that he is not married just because he didn't wear earrings, and it may be that he put away the earrings for convenience."

"It's true that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Lan Qi nodded in agreement with his words, "But I think it's quite strange, why would you suddenly want to investigate his origin?" Could it be that he really fell in love with him?

"If you want to use someone, of course you have to find out about that person." Zhuqing didn't think about other aspects, "It's hard to meet someone who can cook meals that suit your taste. Will you let it go easily?" And if you want to use that person for your own use, of course you must first know the origin of the other person.

"Okay, I admit that what you said is very reasonable." Lan Qi shrugged and said indifferently, "But I still think my idea is correct, the attitude of the master towards this person is indeed very ambiguous!" He still Stand your ground.

Zhuqing looked at him, but didn't speak, because Nangong Mansion was already in sight.The guard at the mansion recognized them, so the two went in easily. After returning to the courtyard where Nangong Ye lived, they asked the servants in the courtyard, and they knew that Nangong Ye had returned from Mrs. Nangong and was in the study. The person passed by directly.

When they arrived, Nangong Ye was reading a book, and the dim yellow light clearly reflected his figure on the window. Zhu Qing lowered his face and said respectfully: "Master, I have already handed over the things to them."

Without raising her head, Nangong Ye flipped over a page of paper and responded lightly.After a pause, he asked again: "Did Ah Qi obey the order and complete the task?"

Lan Qi, who was just thankful that Nangong Ye didn't mention this matter, felt his heart tighten, and immediately turned his pleading eyes on Zhu Qing nervously. He lied and said: "If you go back to Master, Ah Qi has already packed up everything as ordered."

"Oh?" Hearing the unexpected answer, Nangong Ye finally looked up at them, with a smile that was not a smile, "I blamed Ah Qi wrong this time?" There was a lot of teasing in his tone.

"Hehe..." Lan Qi smiled dryly, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and cast a grateful glance at Zhuqing, but Zhuqing didn't look at him, and asked Nangong Ye: "Master, Madam is looking for you because whats the matter?"

Nangong Ye paused for a moment, his expression seemed a little bored, "Besides that matter, do you think she has any other important matters to discuss with me?"

As soon as he said that Zhuqing understood, he must have heard that there is a family whose daughter is very good, and wanted to tie up a marriage line for his father, as if he was afraid that his father would not find a wife.Calculated that his grandfather is only in his twenties this year, although many people already have children at this time, but with his grandfather's status and conditions, what's the harm in getting married later?

Zhu Qing was silent for a while, and said: "Master, are you going to send someone to Mo Mo Restaurant to buy daily dishes tomorrow?"

"No—" Nangong Ye shook his head slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes, "I'll go there in person tomorrow!"

At this moment, even Zhuqing couldn't help but start to believe what Lan Qi said, his grandfather's attitude towards the boy named Mourning was indeed very unpredictable!

——Could it be true that Lan Qi made the promise?His grandfather really has other ideas about that man named Mourning?And not just because of his cooking skills?
