Ruan Tian didn't have much experience in working for the first time. After Uncle He discovered the unobvious wound on his hand, his attitude towards Ruan Tian suddenly changed. He didn't let Ruan Tian continue to work. Ruan Tian couldn't understand.

"Why?"

Uncle He didn't explain. He still went out every day. In order to prevent Ruan Tian from working, he did everything he could before going out every day to ensure that Ruan Tian would not encounter those dangerous things again.

Ruan Tian seemed to hear someone snorting in his ear: "You overprotective brat."

He didn't argue, and Uncle He's attitude was indeed overprotective of him.

But this made Ruan Tian unable to understand.

Obviously, Uncle He didn't object to his work before, and he was even quite relieved.

Uncle He did all the work he could do at home, and he came back later and later every day. In just a few days, he felt that Uncle He seemed to have aged ten years.

·

When Ruan Tian was in the capital, he was not set up as a good boy. He had a group of cronies and friends, and he had done all the things that a dude should do.In the past few days, he was indeed frightened by the emperor's cousin who suddenly drove him out of the capital, but this fright did not last long.

On this day, Uncle He went out as usual.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Ruan Tian, ​​who was "sleeping soundly", changed into clothes found in the yard, and slipped out of the wall quietly.

When he climbed over the wall and drilled holes to go out, the housekeeper was still the one who covered him.

Ruan Tian landed on his feet, wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his face, and sighed a little: "I didn't expect this trick to be used to deal with Uncle He one day."

Uncle He didn't know what misunderstanding happened, and he protected him too much, which made Ruan Tian feel a little aggrieved.

This is his fiefdom, it is impossible for Ruan Tian to stay honestly in a courtyard that is not popular at all.

At first, he planned to behave well and let Uncle He agree to take him out. I don't know what went wrong with the program. Now Uncle He looks like he wants to keep him in the room and protect him. You can see that it doesn't make sense, so you can only take the worst policy.

After persuading himself, Ruan Tian took a look at Nanding Mansion, which is not a high wall, and left the palace without changing his face.

The situation in Nam Dinh can be described in one word, that is poverty.

The streets here are not like the capital city, full of bustling and bustling crowds, the roads are very deserted, Ruan Tian's palace—maybe it can't be called the palace now, it can only be regarded as a temporary place to live at most, that house is on a long road At the end of the long street, and at the other end of the street, a group of people gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.

Ruan Tian's heart skipped a beat.

The poverty here is beyond Ruan Tian's imagination. Walking through the street, I only saw a steamed stuffed bun shop and a stall selling pancakes. The other places seemed to be residents, and there were no other shops, which seemed a bit too deserted.

Ruan Tian walked slowly to the end of the street, and found two stalls there. The two stalls sold similar items, but one was firewood and the other was black charcoal.

Ruan Tian went over to inquire.

It turns out that because of the miasma that often exists in the mountains here in Nam Dinh Province, chopping firewood on the mountain is a job that only those who have received special training can do. Firewood is the most important thing in this small place.

As for charcoal burning, it is a technical job. There is only Fucheng in Nanding Prefecture, which is where they are now, and there is one family who has this craft.

Ruan Tian felt a little surprised. Here, charcoal fire is more expensive than food.

He didn't think much, slipped out of the crowd quietly, and began to observe the fief that belonged to him.

The city of Nam Dinh is beyond Ruan Tian's imagination.There are only a hundred and eighty families in total, and there are only two long streets in total. One street ends with the house he lives in now, and the other end of the street is a rich family surnamed Li.I heard that his current house was also lived in a rich family, but they came from Dayan. Just a few months ago, the whole family suddenly packed up and left Nanding Mansion. It is said that they went to the capital of Dayan Dynasty to enjoy the blessings. up.

When an aunt mentioned this matter, her eyes were full of longing.

Nam Dinh is really poor, so the people here don’t really have the concept of a country. When they belonged to the Nanyue Kingdom, they lived like this. Now they are treated as a hot potato by Nanyue and thrown to Dayan. No matter where they go, they have no sense of belonging to the country at all.

If it was Ruan Tian who was educated by his father in the capital, he would feel angry now, right?

He looked up at the gray sky with some doubts, and was a little puzzled. Now he actually felt that it was understandable for them to have such thoughts.

This kind of life lasted for a few days. Uncle He didn't want Ruan Tian to work. Ruan Tian didn't know what made Uncle He angry, and he didn't continue to do housework, but slipped out every day to check the situation in Nam Dinh Mansion. Before Uncle He went back go back.

Uncle He never found out.

·

Compared to the capital city, Nan Dingfu is very boring. Ruan Tian wandered outside for several days, because he was not conspicuously dressed, and no one noticed him, and he also inquired about a lot of news.

"I heard that the imperial court of Dayan is going to send people here to build a government palace."

"Government? True or false?"

"Of course it's true, can I still lie to you? Young Master, I have someone at Dayan!"

"Since the last big witch left, we don't have a government here anymore, and we don't know what's going on in Dayan."

The few people who had been discussing lively and lively were silent for a while after the big witch was mentioned.

The person who brought up this topic first broke the awkward atmosphere: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, the government in Dayan may not be better than before. We should live our lives honestly."

"Auntie said so."

Ruan Tian was a little surprised when he heard the news, and then thought that the emperor's cousin probably just wanted to show his attitude, and didn't know his living conditions here and sent someone to help.

Thinking of this, Ruan Tian felt a little lost.

"Do you want to bind the Taobao system? After agreeing, there will be unexpected gains."

This voice suddenly sounded in his head, but Ruan Tian calmly ignored it.In the past few days, this guy who claims to be a system has been silent for some reason. He is not as talkative as before. Ruan Tian is still wondering if this guy has some conspiracy. He has done everything a long time ago, and he is still doing well, presumably the other party has no interest in him, right?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Ruan Tian's optimistic attitude ignored the fact that he didn't know whether it was a monster or something else in his mind.

If this guy didn't come out to talk occasionally, Ruan Tian would have convinced himself that it was just a hallucination.

·

The system did not express any opinion on Ruan Tian's mentality of Ah Q.

After all, he is not a serious system, and it's not that he can't leave this human being directly, but he just doesn't want to spend that little energy to unbind.

The system in Ruan Tian's mind is a little lazy, not to mention that this little prince is quite interesting.

Naturally, Ruan Tian didn't know what he was thinking.

There is a wide river in Nam Dinh named Qiujiang——if it were in Dayan, the river surrounding the city would naturally be used as a moat to build a city wall. Unfortunately, Nam Dinh still belonged to Nanyue before this year. Nanyue, a country, is said to be a palace It is extremely luxurious, but these small places on the edge and adjacent to Dayan naturally don't have this kind of treatment. In Ruan Tian's view, the mansion city is just a dilapidated small town, even the small counties around the capital of Dayan Chao capital are inferior. Nam Dinh is much better.

After Ruan Tian got acquainted with the general situation of Nanding Mansion, he finally touched the edge of Qiujiang that day.

There are more people by the river than Ruan Tian imagined. There is a lonely wooden bridge on the river, which looks like it may be washed away by the rough water at any time. A group of people in the downstream area are busy. Ruan Tian watched He averted his gaze at a glance.

He rolled his eyes and walked upstream, near a group of women who were washing clothes.

"Oh, what kind of young gentleman is this? He looks so handsome!" An old lady threw a piece of clothes into the tub after washing, and when she turned her head, she saw Ruan Tian with a somewhat curious face. .

Ruan Tian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized a problem.

These aunts seemed to speak the dialect of Nan Dinh Province - but he understood them all without any obstacles.

Before he had time to think about anything, all the women who heard the aunt's words turned around and looked at Ruan Tian, ​​talking in a hurry: "Don't say it's true, this young man looks pretty good, but Isn't this child from a nearby family?"

"Of course not, how can the nearby people afford clothes made of this material?" The aunt who just spoke squinted at the aunts who were blatantly looking at Ruan Tian, ​​and looked at Ruan Tian, ​​"Little Lang, why are you here?" here?"

Ruan Tian replied subconsciously: "I'm just..." Halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized that he was speaking in Dayan's official language, and suddenly stopped talking, not knowing what to say.

The group of people who were already curious about Ruan Tian became even more curious when they heard his accent, especially the aunt who was talking to Ruan Tian at the beginning, with a look of surprise on her face, she whispered a few words to those who were washing clothes What, then walked towards Ruan Tian, ​​with a kind look on his face, but when he spoke, he changed his mouth to speak in Dayan's official dialect, which was pure and fluent: "Xiao Langjun is from Dayan?"

Ruan Tian was taken aback by the pure official dialect in the capital, and couldn't help being a little distracted. This aunt doesn't know what the origin is...

When his eyes touched Aunt Wu, he suddenly came back to his senses, and stumbled a little: "I, I came from Dayan..."

Aunt Wu's eyes became somewhat clear, and she took a few steps closer: "Mr. Xiaolang is out to study, right? This Nandingfu is not a good place to travel recently. I don't think so now. Wait until October." , it's about to start getting cold here, Mr. Xiao Lang should go home as soon as possible."

Ruan Tian didn't expect that he would be misunderstood by this kind aunt when he said a few words, so he quickly clarified: "I didn't come out to study, the housekeeper and I were sent here by the family, and we can't go back without the family's permission..."

It is true that this is his fiefdom, but for some reason, Ruan Tian subconsciously does not want others to know his identity.

Hearing Ruan Tian's words, Aunt Wu's originally amiable expression became complicated.

At first glance, this child has never experienced any hardships. He must be a young son from a rich family. Now he is assigned to this place by his family. He must have committed some mistakes or those shady backyard secrets. Look at this child With a well-behaved appearance, it must not be a big mistake even if he made a mistake. Surely he was sent to Nam Dinh because he blocked someone's way?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Ruan Tian with a bit of pity.

Ruan Tian noticed the change in Aunt Wu's gaze, but she didn't know that in Aunt Wu's mind, he had been made up into a poor little person who was loved by no one.

He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Aunt Wu suddenly became enthusiastic: "Young gentleman, you don't have to be cautious, since you want to live in Nanding Mansion permanently, have you found a place to live at home?"

Ruan Tian nodded, pointing to the house where he lives now: "I live there now."

Aunt Wu glanced at the place Ruan Tian was pointing at, and confirmed her guess. The house had been abandoned here for a long time, but it was not bought by people in Nanding Mansion other than the Li family. The young master has an extraordinary bearing at first glance, and it is only natural to live here.

She smiled at Ruan Tian: "It's pretty good here. I also came from Dayan. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me." She pointed to her home, "My home is live there."

Ruan Tian nodded in a daze, with a dazed expression on his face.

It's like you don't even know what's going on.

Aunt Wu finished her business, and suddenly said to Ruan Tian: "If you have nothing to do, young master, you should leave here first. This is a place where women wash their clothes, so it's not suitable for a young master like you."

There was a bit of a teasing smile on her face, Ruan Tian belatedly realized that she really didn't seem to be suitable for this place, and with a slightly red face, she apologized to Aunt Wu and left in a hurry.

Although Dayan's folk customs are open, it's not a big deal for him to be a man among a group of women.

What Ruan Tian didn't know was that after he left, Aunt Wu and her little sisters talked about him, and everyone smiled.

"That is to say, this little gentleman is living in that house now?"

"That's not it." Aunt Wu thought about how she came to Nanding Mansion, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she changed the topic, "Let's hurry up and go back to cooking, the men at home will be hungry gone."

Ruan Tian didn't hear what they said, and remembered that he was surrounded by a group of women just now, and his face was red.

Walking downstream along the Qiujiang River, Ruan Tian unconsciously came to the vicinity of the person he saw before who was busy with some work that he didn't know what to do.

He stopped and his eyes fell on a person who was moving a big rock.

That is……

"Uncle He..." Ruan Tian's face turned green and pale, and his mind was like a galloping horse, whizzing past his brain.

"That's not enough," said a voice with a bit of a smile, "After all, I'm still temporarily living in your brain. If there are really thousands of troops, wouldn't they want to step over my corpse?"

The system that found Ruan Tian's violent mental fluctuations opened his eyes and received Ruan Tian's thoughts. He couldn't help being a little funny, and said.

Ruan Tian didn't understand the system's humor this time, and his mind was greatly shaken.

In all fairness, the weather was not cold at noon, and the people here were busy moving huge stones and piled them beside the river, as if they were reinforcing the river.

Among them, the first thing Ruan Tian noticed was the only familiar person with a few white hairs on his head.

He didn't know why Uncle He was here.

Uncle He has to go out every day, but before Ruan Tian never doubted what Uncle He was doing after he went out, he thought that that piece of jade pendant was really pawned enough money, and all the money he spent now was the money he got in exchange for that piece of jade pendant .

But now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

He has never seen that jade pendant again, and Uncle He will not hide the jade pendant.Thinking about it, I really didn't get much money in exchange...

Ruan Tian didn't see a pawnshop on the street where he lived. If there was one, it should be on the street around the Li Mansion that he hasn't explored yet, right?

Ruan Tian's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly he felt a palpitation, as if he was being stared at by something, Ruan Tian was startled, and when he looked up, he found that Uncle He was staring in his direction thoughtfully.

Ruan Tian was startled, quickly hid behind a tree, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

·

He walked back in a daze, and when he reached the door of the house, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.

Ruan Tian sat in the room for a long time in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses until Uncle He opened the door.

As soon as Uncle He entered the door, he saw the restless little prince. The young prince didn't even change his clothes. It was hard for Uncle He not to notice anything.

When I saw the little prince by the river at noon, I was surprised. According to the intelligence of the prince, I am afraid that he has already realized their current situation.

It's just that Uncle He didn't expect to see such a prince when he came back. He sighed deeply, and finally realized that with his own strength, it is impossible for the young prince to live as happily as he did in the capital. .

Thinking of this, Uncle He passed the dinner in his hand to Ruan Tian, ​​which is a specialty of Nan Dinh province. Rice harvested from his own paddy field was placed in the hollow bamboo, and red dates and other fruits were added. With a strong fragrance, you can eat it when you uncover the bamboo tube.

Ruan Tian took the rice and felt that the dinner was like a heavy stone, weighing a thousand catties.

When he was eating, Uncle He took the initiative to talk about what he was doing now.

Recently, he has been working with people from Nam Dinh Mansion to strengthen the river channel - in the Dayan Dynasty, this kind of work was done by corvees recruited by the government, but here it was hired by the old man surnamed Li from Nam Dinh Manor to reinforce it. The workers of the river course, because the Nanyue Kingdom did not take Nanding Mansion seriously at all. After the previous manager, Da Wu, passed away ten years ago, there were no disciples who could succeed him. The Nanyue Kingdom also seemed to forget that this is still the land of Nanyue. No one was sent to take over.

The Li family, who have lived here for many years, couldn't bear to see the sight of the Qiu River flooding, so every year they took the initiative to pay and hire people to strengthen the river.

It's just that there are huge differences within the Li family, and this kind of work may not be found in the future.
