Shi Gui heard that the soldier's heart was tight, Ye Wenxin's identity was not visible, although he knew that he was protected by the Song family, his identity was unknown, and he heard that the soldier Ding first pinched a handful of sweat, and then relieved his breath, how could he send a team of soldiers to take a fugitive, shook the spatula and put salt, and asked casually: "What are you here for?"

The water chestnut shook her head, and quickly added firewood to the stove for her: "I don't know, I saw many people coming in and out, and there were people who were cooking on the fire, and they were in a hurry to come back, for fear that my mother would scold me." She went out with a basket to pick chrysanthemum brains, wild vegetables didn't pick for long, chasing and playing with her partners on the mountain, and saw people coming from the other side of the mountain, there is a big camp here, half empty over the years, I didn't think that I would enter people again today.

Shi Gui was even less worried when he heard that it was the garrison, looked at the few wild vegetables in the basket, and nodded a little water chestnut nose: "This is not good, your mother will scold you later." ”

Water chestnut squinted his eyes and smiled, washed and cut the vegetables, and chopped the dried bean curd into dices with Shi Gui, mixed it in one place and dotted it with sesame oil, and it was not much in the bowl, but it was enough to eat, Shi Gui also taught her to take a small round bowl and fill it up and then buckle it upside down, and she could also be a dish, and the water chestnut held the bowl and smiled: "Now my mother can't scold me." ”

She slipped in through the back door, and when Mrs. Liu came back, she saw that she had already made two or three dishes, and she couldn't scold her, so she just glared at her: "When you see the sky, you know that you are running crazy, your feet are running big, how can you marry in the future!"

This will long be out of the foot-binding, when the □□ will be abolished this rule, the queen and the eldest princess also followed the battle to lead the soldiers, all small feet how to run, at first did not give a strict order, and then saw that the people's customs are difficult to change, and there are those who love this way, self-proclaimed as a gentleman, wrote the "Lotus Spectrum", the wrapped little feet are compared to lotus petals, in the palm of the play, but also divided into nine products, to these little feet according to the name.

No, the heavy punishment is not allowed, just catch it and kill the head, this trend is stopped, at this time, it is said that the big feet are not easy to marry, it is the big foot girl who is obviously not quiet, which is difficult to marry.

Water chestnut rolled her eyes at her, Mrs. Liu's effort to pick vegetables inquired about the origin of the group of soldiers in the back mountain, every family was cooking at this time, picking vegetables in the field, seven sentences and eight sentences, what else did not know.

"It is said that the official who was transferred back from other places, and the tenants at our end can open a market again. "The world is peaceful, the saint is heavy, the wind and rain are smooth but not a few years, a drought and a flood, everywhere to money, the money collected in the military expenses have a large amount of expenses, the founding of the □□ emperor since there is the ancestral system of raising soldiers, a lot of people can open a set, although it is a military household, in addition to training, there is no difference with ordinary farmers.

Mrs. Liu was already thinking about making money, and she was busy with her mouth and didn't stop, saying that the military family did not have to pay the land tax, and at the same time saying that she had to be blessed by the Bodhisattva not to fight, and when she was fighting, she would suffer from every mile and every mile.

Shi Gui listened, she still remembered that Mingyue followed that Lord Wu Qianhu to Yanjing at that time, and at that time she was afraid that he would really become a military household, and he would never be able to get out of the country again, and she didn't know what the thief boy looked like, and Shi Gui still owed him twenty taels of silver.

was listening with his ears propped up, and two more piano sounds sounded in the courtyard, and Mrs. Liu smacked her lips: "The girl is really a fairy figure, so she can do so many things." ”

Mrs. Liu said while going to mix tofu again, and made two plates, the one mixed with shrimp oil was for Song Yintang, and there were seven or eight dishes on the stove, and Shi Guilai asked: "Do you want to bring it to the room for the young master and girl?"

Shi Gui took a tray: "I'll come, there is no need for people inside, you can eat outside, I'll go in and wait." The water chestnut took the wine cup and opened a jar of osmanthus vegetarian wine, saying that it was a vegetarian wine, but in fact it was to add some honey to the osmanthus water, and drink it as wine, and it would not be intoxicating to eat a jar.

Shi Gui took the food in, Song Yintang sat steadily, but Ye Wenxin was used to helping, stretched out his hand to serve the food, wiped the table first, and took the bowl mat to put under the soup bowl, Song Yintang looked at it and frowned, this room doesn't even have a curtain, it is shallower in the end, at a glance, there is an embroidered slipknot rope on the bed, and there are still a lot of good ones in the basket, Song Yintang first guessed whether Ye Wenxin was doing the work together, and at this time it was really the case.

Shi Gui withdrew, Ye Wenxin made an invitation to Song Yintang, the dishes on the table in front of her started from the edge of the bowl, half of them were empty, Song Yintang had eaten with her, it turned out that the New Year and the festival were all gathered in one place, it turned out that the girl didn't pick the best one from the bowl and gave it to her, and even ate the vegetables so carefully at this time.

Song Yintang only chatted: "Are you used to living here?" The house is shallow, only here is far away from the grange, not so many people can chew their tongues, if you are not used to living, I will see where there is a suitable one." ”

Ye Wenxin shook his head and swallowed the tofu: "There is nothing bad anymore, don't bother." ”

"I can't mention the word trouble anymore, I should take care of you, if it's not for my mother, can't I take care of you?" Song Yintang put down his chopsticks: "If the girl bullies you, you just have to sue me, and I sent her away for you." ”

As soon as Ye Wenxin raised his eyes, he saw Song Yintang's gaze falling on the embroidery basket, knowing why he said this, he simply said: "I begged her to learn, not only did she learn to make beds and fold quilts, I also wanted to learn laundry and cooking, and when I learned laundry and cooking, I still have to learn how to grow vegetables and water the garden, can I rely on my aunt for the rest of my life and can't live by myself?"

Song Yintang was stunned for a while, but he couldn't answer, Ye Wenxin took a chopstick dish for him: "Cousin, don't worry about me, if you can't do it, it's very safe to stay here." ”

Song Yintang couldn't eat it, he repeatedly promised in front of Ye that he would take care of Ye Wenxin, but Ye Wenxin didn't think about relying on him at all, he wanted to tell her that he could protect her, but he couldn't open his mouth, the prince was seriously ill, and the princess didn't know if it was a man or a woman in her belly.

Song Yintang didn't love these in the first place, he was a good old man, what he loved was Xiaoyao, the imperial examination was for the old lady's hard work over the years, and being an official was for the sake of Ye's decency, he wanted to earn a life for her, and he didn't live for himself after thinking about it.

The two of them talked about poetry, literature, piano and chess, and never said these words, Ye Wenxin was still weaker than before, he was sick and locked up for more than a year, and his body has not been raised, but his spirit is very different, when she came back for the first time, she was like an autumn wind and falling leaves, shrunk on the branches and shivered, this time her face was still pointed, but her cheeks were flushed.

Song Yintang slowly exhaled a breath, picked up the wine jug and filled Ye Wenxin's cup: "For this sentence, it should be a big white." "First dry for respect, after drinking a cup and then pour a glass, the sweet water into the throat is a little spicy.

Ye Wenxin covered the cup with his sleeve, drank it all in one gulp, put down the cup and said: "It turns out that I said that my cousin no longer thinks that Lao Zhuang is filial piety to my aunt, but now I know that I am wrong, and in my aunt's heart, as long as my cousin is happy, she will naturally be happy." ”

Song Yintang was silent for a long time, and smiled at her, but he really didn't know whether the Ye family was happy or not, she didn't smile much when she was on the imperial examination list, and later became an official, and he didn't see her smile more, his mother was too stingy, so he couldn't figure out whether she was happy or worried.

The two were speechless for a while, Song Yintang hastily ate the meal, still thinking about Ye Wenxin's sentence of living for herself, knowing that she had done her best, so she said such a thing, and when she said goodbye, she stopped Shi Gui by the door and gave Shi Gui a purse bag, which was full of broken silver that he brought out: "I will also ask Gao Jia to send some more, don't let her be wronged." ”

Ye Wenxin didn't have no money, the Ye family gave it, and the Song family gave it, but what she wanted was that she could make money, Shi Gui accepted the purse and thanked Song Yintang, sent him all the way to the door, bit her lip and asked: "There is a sentence I want to ask for the girl, she is not good at speaking, she can't live like this without an identity." ”

Whether she marries or not, she can't go out without identity, so can't she live in this small courtyard for the rest of her life? If you want to go to Suizhou, you have to have a way to get on the boat, but you can't go to the dock to get on the boat, and you can travel far when you get to the city gate.

Song Mian frowned: "It's going on at home, if you let her feel at ease, she can always do it in the year." He said this, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and the family wanted to set up a family affair for him first.

Last time, Mrs. Song secretly came over and was known to Mrs. Song, and asked him to go over and ask a few times, telling him that even if Ye Wenxin got out of his nationality, he could no longer marry her and enter the door, and he didn't ask him to find a family with a big family, how could he be innocent.

This is the meaning of the family, but Song Yintang doesn't want to make a hasty decision on family affairs, he wants to live a lifetime, he can't be like his father and mother, and he is afraid that he has not said many words in his life.

Thinking about it, he sighed, and he didn't know how to dispel his grandmother's thoughts, he turned around and went out, his eyebrows were locked, he sat in the car and took out Ye Wenxin's knot, took it in his hand and looked at it, he liked this cousin, if he wanted to say that life and death were promised, there was no more, the love was shallow, and it was far from that, but apart from her, there was no girl he liked in his heart.

Shi Gui sent Song Yintang away, and when she returned to the house, Ye Wenxin had already served her a meal, and pointed to the dishes on the table: "This side has not been touched." "Eat separately, just to leave vegetables for Shi Gui, for fear that she won't be full.

Shi Gui bit his chopsticks and smiled, took tofu and egg bibimbap to eat, pulled a big bowl, and then said: "There is a military household on the other side of the mountain, and Mother Liu said that a lot of work has to be done by people, I inquired once, but we can't do it." ”

There are also men in the big camp, and they can't use it for cooking, and there are hundreds of people in a camp, and they have planted three hectares of fields, and the things they collect are self-sufficient, and the rest can be sold for money, and there is no such business without capital.

The hand is rich, laundry and mending clothes to make winter clothes and winter shoes The work is willing to spend a few dollars for people to do it on their behalf, and then send it in, priced by the piece, and it looks like it is going to change the jacket, and then in a few days it will have to change the winter clothes.

Shi Gui said that she couldn't do it, it was inconvenient for Ye Wenxin to do it, but she didn't have any scruples, how could she know that Ye Wenxin bit her lip: "I can do what you can do, it's just to make clothes, what's so difficult." ”

Shi Gui's face was red when she looked at her, Ye Wenxin pursed her lips, turned around and ignored her, the knots and handkerchiefs were all done, and the shoes and clothes were still missing, she reached out to look at her fingertips, a pair of green onions, and her fingertips were grinding out calluses, but she smiled, remembering what Yan had written, the fingertips became new calluses, and the fields bloomed with new sprouts.

Ye Wenxin leaned against the door to see Shi Gui Lingjiao planted stubble vegetables and melons in front of the door, this summer is the most thirst-quenching, the taste is fresh water, and it can be used as a vegetable when it is dried.

"We can pick it in two days, we planted it late, and everyone else's family has harvested it, so we should plant it earlier next year." "But I didn't wait for the melons to be fully ripe, all of them were gone overnight, the light rods and leaves were all cleaned, the water chestnut was holding the basket to cry, Mrs. Liu went from house to house, which household did not say it thoroughly, a dozen melons on the ground, and it couldn't really be a trouble, and the angry straight slapped the thigh, that is, the children in the village stole the melons to eat, and did not pull out the poles.

Shi Gui looked at the water chestnut and sighed at the damaged melon field, and saw a person on the other side of the trail carrying a basket with one hand and a child with the other, all the way to the Song family, Ye Wenxin hurriedly avoided the door, the man walked straight to the melon field, and asked the child, "Is the melon taken here?"
