leisurely farming life

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yun really didn't know what charades the two of them were playing.

Cheng Qing shook his head and sighed: "You don't have to do this, it's enough for Xiaoyun to serve me alone."

"The slave will guard the door for you." Liu Niansi said with a firmer tone without retreating.

"My yard is small and I don't need a gatekeeper."

"Whatever the young master asks the slave to do, the slave will do whatever he wants. A man who is born as a young master will die as a ghost of the young master. The slave will follow the young master for the rest of his life."

Cheng Qing kept looking at Liu Niansi who was kneeling on the ground, and with a plan in mind, he stood up, helped Liu Niansi up, and said, "Then just keep it, and don't want you to be like a cow, Xiaoyun is too busy It’s time for you to help out.”

Liu Niansi was overjoyed: "Thank you son, thank you son..."

"Don't call me son, just call me brother Cheng as before, and don't call yourself a slave. I'm not a high-ranking son, and I'm just a commoner."

"But……"

"Anyway, I'm going to drive you away."

"Understood, Brother Cheng."

Liu Niansi officially stayed. Although Xiaoyun didn't know much about it, he was still very happy to have a good friend.

Liu Niansi used to play in Cheng's house a lot, without Xiaoyun's introduction, he basically knew all the places in Cheng's house and got used to it smoothly.

He also often takes care of his father at home, cleaning, cooking, and washing vegetables. Xiaoyun has a good helper. Cheng Qing sees the harmony of the family, so he let go, just treat it as himself did a good job.

However, the story of Cheng Qing taking out 200 taels of silver at once was quickly spread by people in the village. May not doubt him?

There were people who were skeptical, but there were quite a few people who had their own thoughts. In just half a month, the door of Cheng Qing's house never stopped from morning till night. Simply pretend to be sick and lie on the bed and refuse to see guests.

Cheng Qing refused to help Liu Niansi if there was a problem at home, if the twins and daughters were getting married and needed help, if the old man was sick and had no money to see a doctor, saying that he was not helping Liu Niansi for free, but that Liu Niansi had been sold to their family as a servant.

But who would believe it?People came and went one after another, and the door of Cheng Qing's house was about to be knocked down.

Xiaoyun rejected another group of people. She returned to the house exhausted, and said to the son who was lying on the bed with no desires and desires: "My son, why are there so many people coming to our house? There is a constant stream of people coming and going. I don’t know how many times I’ve come here, I’m tired of seeing them, but they still want to come, what do you think they’re asking for?”

"What can I ask for? Either for money or for help. I'm not Guanyin alive, so I can't control so many people!"

Cheng Qing was also upset, he liked to be quiet, but was disturbed by so many people, no matter how good-tempered people were, he couldn't stand it, but he was not a good-tempered person yet.

Liu Niansi, who was passing by, entered the door and said guiltily, "I'm sorry Brother Cheng, it's all my fault for making you suffer."

"Just get through this for a while. They will definitely not have so many thoughts in a few days, and they know what I think, so they won't bother me anymore."

Cheng Qing waved his hand and said indifferently, "Go and do your own thing first."

Liu Niansi nodded, talking more is useless, it is better to do something to make up for his guilt, he left the room and walked to another room.

After he got home, Cheng Qing gave him the cloth bought in Xiaoyun Town and asked him to make some clothes according to the size Xiaoyun gave him. There were still two or three clothes that were not ready, so he had to hurry up. Out.

After Liu Niansi left, Xiaoyun quickly stepped forward and sat on the footsteps beside the bed, leaning against the bed, and said curiously: "My lord, I feel that I understand a little bit, but I don't understand it very well, so please tell me, my lord." !"

"Whether you understand it or not, things have already happened. There is no need to know so much. Let's go, go and do other things. Don't disturb my reading."

"Don't, son, tell me, I want to know, I really really want to know..."

Cheng Qing glanced at Xiaoyun who was lying on the side. Xiaoyun's eyes were shining brightly, and her desire for knowledge was fully revealed in her eyes.

"Okay." Cheng Qing closed the book and said, "Do you think I'm cruel and unwilling to save Niansi? If I can be silent, I will give you even 200 taels, let alone 2000 taels of silver.

But the village is so small and there are so many people, I can't control other people's mouths. Today I took 200 taels of silver to save Niansi, but tomorrow someone will need me to save him with hundreds of taels of silver. Although I have money , but my money can't be spent like this.

People's desires are unlimited, they will not stop, so I dare not act rashly, because if I am not careful, things will be the same as now, and I have already gone through the current situation in my mind. "

Xiaoyun never thought that things would turn out like this, especially when she was indeed angry with the young master, angry at him for not saving others, and angry at him for standing idly by.

But she didn't expect that there would be such a big twist and turn behind this matter, and the non-stop crowd today was all provoked because the young master saved Nian Si.

"My lord, Xiao Yun knew I was wrong..." Xiao Yun knelt down beside the footsteps, and sincerely apologized: "My lord, it was Xiao Yun who somehow misunderstood you, I'm sorry, my lord."

Cheng Qing shook his head: "It's okay, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand, take your time, I will teach you slowly. You can also learn Nian Si, he thinks more than you. Otherwise, he wouldn't come Our family is willing to be my slave."

Rather than giving 200 taels of silver for free, it is better to say that 200 taels of silver was used to buy Niansi's freedom for a lifetime.

Maybe he will lose his freedom in the future, but Liu Niansi will still choose Cheng Qing without hesitation, because he knows that Cheng Qing will not hurt him, and marrying Mr. Jiang is far worse than being a servant in Cheng Qing's house.

However, Xiaoyun still has a question: "Son, but at that time, didn't Xiaoshan tell us that Xiaoshan's father would marry Niansi? I believe Xiaoshan's father would not bully Niansi. How about stopping this marriage?"

"Do you think I'm trying to stop this marriage?" Cheng Qing said, "You don't understand Niansi. Although Niansi is gentle and kind, I know that he is a very tough person. What he can accept is the sacrifice of both parties. , rather than unilateral assistance.

Wang Zhili did not marry Niansi because he was happy with Niansi, he just wanted to repay Niansi's life-saving grace back then, if Niansi didn't know about it, it would be fine.

But once Niansi knows, Niansi will definitely do something stupid, and the regret will be unimaginable.

So I absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen around me.That's why I will help. To be honest, if Nian Si really can't think about it, it will not only affect the Liu family in the end. "

Now, Xiaoyun really thought it through clearly, feeling that the young master is thoughtful, and his admiration for him is beyond words.

Just when she was about to say something, there was another knock on the door, Xiaoyun's face changed instantly, she shouted impatiently, stood up and opened the door.

Cheng Qing shook his head lightly, then picked up the book and continued reading.

"My son is sick and lying on the bed, and can't see guests. If you have something to ask, please come back." Xiaoyun didn't even want to open the door, and said directly to the people outside.

"Sister Xiaoyun, I'm Xiaoshan."

"Huh? Xiaoshan?" Xiaoyun opened the door in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Xiaoshan standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yun also said pleasantly: "Come on, come in, why are you here, Xiao Shan?"

Wang Xiaoshan also entered the door happily. He looked around and asked, "Is brother Niansi here?"

"That's right, you're here to look for brother Niansi? He seems to be in the backyard room. Shall I call it for you?"

"No, no, no, I'm here to find Aunt Cheng Shuang." Xiaoshan hurriedly pulled Xiaoyun who was about to turn around to look for Niansi, and said with a smile: "My father said that there is something he wants to tell Aunt Cheng Shuang. I just heard from sister Xiaoyun that Aunt Cheng Shuang is sick. Is it serious? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"So you care about your Aunt Cheng Shuang?" Cheng Qing was in the room and wanted to continue reading, but he heard Xiao Shan's voice, so he put down his shoes on the study bed and went to meet Xiao Shan in the yard.

"Aunt Cheng Shuang!" Xiao Shan stepped forward and said excitedly, "Why are you sick? What did the doctor say?"

"You liar, Aunt Cheng Shuang is so powerful, how could she be sick?" Cheng Qing pulled Xiao Shan to sit down: "I'm always a liar. My house has been noisy recently. I don't want to see guests, so I just told them I was sick. That way I don't have to meet guests."

"Oh, as long as it's okay." Xiao Shan didn't care at all why he lied to others. He was just worried about Aunt Cheng Shuang's health. Knowing that he was fine, he felt relieved.

"Xiaoyun, didn't there be a few salty cakes left at home yesterday? Bring them to Xiaoshan to taste."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Xiaoshan heard that there was something delicious, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Cheng Qing also smiled when he saw it: "Why are you looking for me today? I just heard that your father asked you to come to me. What's the matter?" ah?"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot." Xiaoshan smiled mischievously: "My father said, Aunt Cheng Shuang's cabbage growing in your field should be replanted, if you don't go there quickly, the cabbage will be bad. "

Cheng Qing really forgot about it in the past half month. Half a month ago, the field he was thinking about every day disappeared completely in the midst of these troubles. He didn't know what the field looked like now. I no longer know.

"Has it grown?"

"Yeah, I went to see it, and it looks good, so I have to replant it quickly, otherwise it will all gather together, and it will be really troublesome."

"Your father asked you to tell me?"

"Uh-huh."

"I see, I'll go tomorrow."

Xiao Shan went home with the salted cakes, Cheng Qing turned to Xiao Yun and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to the field, wake me up early in the morning."

"Eh, good."
