Cannon's little husband

The child was not only thinner than the other children, but also taller than the other children. Therefore, in order to be able to see the scene clearly in the window, he had to pile up a few more stones.

But the relatively flat stones that are easy to step on have long been taken up by other children, and there are only a few uneven ones left for him, which are wobbly when stepped on alone, let alone several piled up?

Just when Lian Qi noticed the child, it happened that the little guy was unsteady on his feet, and he didn't hold the window firmly with his hands. He fell straight backwards, and the back of his head was about to hit the ground. If you hit Shicheng, it's not impossible to get a concussion!

Lian Qi rushed forward and caught the little guy, but his own butt fell heavily on the ground again.

hiss--

While helping the child up, he rubbed his buttocks. He felt that this part of him was really destined to be ill-fated. Fortunately, there was a lot of flesh, so it was not easy to have accidents.

Tang Wuyu stretched out his hand towards Lian Qi, but turned a corner halfway, and put the hand that was originally aimed at his buttocks on his shoulder, "Is there something wrong?" There was a trace of imperceptible in the cold voice. concern.

Lian Qi shook her head, "It's okay."

He glanced at the child next to him, and gently touched his head, "Did you fall somewhere?"

The child bit his lip, and shook his head after a while, "I'm fine, thank you, big brother." The voice was low, like a mosquito gnat, but fortunately Lian Qi has good hearing, otherwise he might not be able to hear.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the teacher in the academy. While Lian Qi was talking to the little guy, the old man with white beard and hair had already walked out of the academy and came in front of several people.

After seeing the three of them, the master cupped his hands and asked, "Who are you..."

Lian Qi bowed back, and said a little embarrassedly, "Master, my senior brother and I walked here and planned to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for my younger brother, but I was attracted by the sound of chanting books in this academy, so I stayed outside here. Stay a little longer."

Eavesdropping on other people's lectures seems to be not very popular in ancient times?Lian Qi thinks it's better to flatter others first.

The old master looked at Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu, and finally his eyes stayed on the child, "Are you two relatives of Wan Xia?"

"what?"

Needless to say, the doubt in Lian Qi's eyes has already told this master the answer.

The master frowned, and looked at Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu with some vigilance. Maybe he regarded them as human traffickers?

Lian Qi smiled awkwardly, and explained: "This..."

"Master Liu, this elder brother is a good man. If it wasn't for his help just now, I might have been injured." Seeing that the master seemed to be asking the teacher for a crime, the little guy Wan Xia hurried forward to explain, the voice was as thin as a gnat It has also improved a lot, at least it is within the normal audible range.

After the misunderstanding was clarified, the master had a much better impression of Lian Qi, who "could act bravely when he sees justice."

Lian Qi quickly waved her hands, and greatly praised the old man's benevolence. When he praised others, the expression on his face was always very sincere, making people feel credible. The old man was very happy to be praised, and couldn't bear it After chatting for a while, I learned that there is a candidate in Lian Qi's family who is going to take the autumn exam this year, and I recommended him a gentleman who is good at teaching candidates in Jinshi Academy.

I didn't expect such a surprise at all, Lian Qi immediately thanked the teacher, which saved Lian Qi a lot of energy, otherwise he is not familiar with Jinshi County, how would he know which teacher can teach him well? ?

But the master waved his hand, "It's nothing, I would like to thank the two of you for helping Wan Xia, this child is talented, if he can be cultivated well, he may be a champion in the future, but unfortunately, his family is poor..."

***

After saying goodbye to his wife, Lian Qi bought some ink ingots and rice paper, and then went with Tang Wuyu to the place agreed with Mingcheng and the others.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Lian Qi saw Mingcheng and the village head and his party driving the donkey cart from a distance.

After getting closer, Lian Qi saw the excitement and smile on Ming Cheng's face. It seems that things went well this time?

"Uncle Ming, the village head." When the donkey cart came nearby, Lian Rui stepped forward and called out obediently.

Ming Cheng jumped out of the car, patted Lai Lian Qi's shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Good boy! You will be blessed in the future!"

Hearing what Mingcheng said, Lian Qi's eyes lit up, "Is it a few taels more from the reward society?"

Crowd: ...

Ming Cheng's hand that patted his shoulder froze, and the expression on his face suddenly became somewhat indescribable, "The rewards will increase, and the magistrate has decided to send people to our Ming Family Village to erect an archway to show your contribution."

Now Lian Qi's expression was indescribable, and he wanted to set up a memorial arch, the first thing he thought of was that he wanted to set up a memorial arch...

Then...

"Won't the names of me and my senior brother also be engraved on it?"

Mingcheng gave him a strange look, "The record is your credit. Of course, your names will be engraved."

Lian Qi felt a little bit pained, he always felt that it was not so comfortable to receive the credit, he just made a suggestion, and it was enough to earn some money, and it really made him feel that the memorial archway was erected to show merit. Both ashamed and disturbed.

"Oh, by the way, you don't have to worry about the lack of wood for the waterwheel. The magistrate said he will solve it. We just need to work hard to reclaim the barren hills, and strive to turn the barren hills into grain hills as soon as possible!" Ming Cheng said again a message.

"Liangshan?" Lian Qi's heart skipped a beat, Liangshan hero, do you want to rebel?

"That's right! A mountain that can produce grain is a grain mountain!" Ming Cheng felt that his description was not bad, and he was quite proud of it.

Lian Qi was silent. Fortunately, there is no "Water Margin" here.

"By the way, Third Uncle Ming, senior brother and I have to stay here for one night today, so we can't go back with you." Lian Qi remembered the business.

"You want to stay here?" Ming Cheng frowned, "Why?"

"Well, brother, he has accepted a mission in Jinshi County, and it is very urgent." Lian Qi said vaguely.

Mingcheng frowned, "What kind of mission is it?"

"Go hunting." Lian Qi said.

"Then..." Mingcheng wanted to say, since Tang Wuyu went hunting, then Lian Qi could go back with them first, wouldn't that be a conflict?

But seeing Tang Wuyu's cold gaze, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, "In this case, do you need me to pick you up tomorrow?" Although the donkey cart was also slow, it was better Walking back on two legs is no good. If you think about walking for two hours without a break, few people can do it.

"No need." It was Tang Wuyu who spoke, "I will take him back."

Mingcheng is obviously very jealous of Lian Qi's senior brother, but seeing Lian Qi's trusting eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, "Then you have found a place to live tonight?"

Lian Qi nodded, "I've found it, it's at Taihe Inn."

Taihe Inn?Now, not only Mingcheng, but also other people became curious. This Taihe Inn is not something ordinary people can live in. I heard that the fee for one night is several taels of silver!How could a farmer like them afford to live!

"How did you go there? Is there enough money on your body?" Compared to the others, Mingcheng was more worried that the two of them didn't have enough money to be kicked out.

Looking at the eyes of these people, Lian Qi knew that they must have misunderstood, and quickly explained, "This time, the employer is the owner of this Taihe Inn. Since things are not easy, the treatment for senior brothers is much better. Room and board are included!"

Mingcheng was still a little skeptical, but Lian Qi explained with confidence, he couldn't say anything more, he just asked when they went back, and if there was anything he needed to help bring back.

In the end, two people were missing from the donkey cart back to Mingjia Village, but there was an extra pile of rice paper, a few pieces of ink ingots, and two jars of brown sugar.

***

After seeing off the people from Ming Family Village, the two returned to the inn, and then looked at each other.

After crossing, Lian Qi has been in a busy state, and he rarely has time to relax. There is nothing to do suddenly, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

After staring at Tang Wuyu for a while, Lian Qi stood up abruptly, "I want to take a bath!"

Tang Wuyu:? ? ? ?

Lian Qi's eyes shined brightly. After coming here, it was too troublesome to chop firewood, boil water, and mix water... so Lian Qi, who was used to taking a bath every day in her previous life, had to adjust her body with tears in her eyes. Bath time, at most a week, he must take a bath, otherwise he will feel that his body will be full of stink!

But now, they live in a "luxury suite"!There should be a service to boil bath water, right?

Lian Qi was suddenly a little uncertain.

"I'll ask a little girl first!" Extremely worried that her bath might not be successful, Lian Qi hurriedly went out to find someone.

It has to be said that there is also a reason for the high charges of Taihe Inn. After Lian Qi asked for a bath, the waiter in the inn immediately asked someone to boil the water.

However, when I went back to the bedroom and saw the bathtub that could accommodate two people separated by a screen (the emphasis is on one and two), Lian Qi realized a problem, this, after boiling the bath water, could it be that he himself Have to take a bath with my brother?

If he asked the waiter to boil two tubs of hot water, would he quit?
