Chapter 140: Intercession
"Madam, how can this work!" Huabian hurriedly stopped her: "How can there be a master in this world who serves the slave and maid, the slave and maid's injuries are almost healed, and it is still okay to get out of bed and do some light work." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Seeing that they didn't give in to each other, Yinling shouted to the door: "Da Kun, you will be contracted by you for the work of this girl by the painting, you have no objection, right?"
"Yes. ”
There was a dull sound outside the door, and it turned out that Da Kun had been guarding the door. Seeing that he was so uneasy about himself, he couldn't help but blush.
After Cheng Jingjing recovered from her fever, she went out to work with Yinling. Everyone in this valley has their own farm work, the sun rises and the sun sets, there is no dispute between people, it is nothing more than some small fights on weekdays, everyone lives a simple life.
It stands to reason that the clansmen here are very unwelcoming to outsiders, but Cheng Jingjing has a beautiful face like a fairy, and she is kind and unpretentious, so she was accepted by the people in the valley after a while, and many men who favored her secretly came to help. She and Huapan soon had their own wooden house, which Da Kun had built with the men of the clan.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the house in the morning, Cheng Jingjing stretched and woke up comfortably. Although there were insects chirping at night, it made her sleep soundly, and she had not slept so peacefully for a long time.
"Madame, you're awake. She poured the water into the basin and said, "The slave maid is going to pick some wild fruits with Da Kun today to make sauce, and it may not be back until after the evening." ”
"Go," Cheng Jingjing said with a smile: "It's rare that the two of you have the opportunity to be alone, and it's okay to come back later, I'll just go to Yinling." ”
"Don't get me wrong, madam, Da Kun and I are not what you think...... The slave just thinks he's honest and easy to get along with. The painting blushed.
Cheng Jingjing got out of bed and said while getting dressed: "Da Kun is a good man, but he is much more reliable than those oily and powdery boys in the capital. If you meet in the capital, I will definitely marry you to him. ”
"Madame, don't take my slave and maid, I'm having fun. ”
After finishing everything in his hand, as soon as he opened the door, he was startled by something that had fallen down from the door. There was a bunch of food and everything lying on the ground, presumably those men came to curry favor with Cheng Jingjing again.
"Alas......" Cheng Jingjing sighed when she saw this, and said with a headache: "I told them that I am a man with a husband, why are there so many obsessed people who send things every now and then, you can send these things to Yinling." ”
"Since it is a good intention of theirs, Madame will stay. ”
The painting smiled and moved the things back, it seems that they don't have to worry about food during this time.
After breakfast, Cheng Jingjing walked to the patriarch's house alone. The wounds on the paintings were almost healed, and it was time for the patriarch to take them in.
"You're here. ”
When Cheng Jingjing came to the patriarch's house, she found that Yinling was also there. The other party held a strange box in his hand and said to her, "It's the right time to come, come and see the Gu worm I just practiced." ”
"What is this?" Cheng Jingjing leaned in curiously.
"This Gu is amazing," Yinling said proudly: "When I finish refining, he will be able to find someone with his breath, and then I will be able to find my father and mother." ”
"You are so powerful," Cheng Jingjing couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to be so good at Gu art at a young age, it must be the old patriarch who taught you everything he has learned all his life." ”
"What's the matter with him," Yinling said, putting the box away, "I'm gifted, but I just happened to be adopted by that old man, and if I were to learn something else, I would definitely be a genius." ”
"Huh. ”
Cheng Jingjing was amused by her, and then out of the corner of her eye, she saw the patriarch walking out of it, so she immediately stepped forward to salute the patriarch.
"Miss Cheng, why are you doing this," the patriarch helped her up and said, "The old man knows what you want to say, but there are no outsiders in this valley, so please leave with the girl on the painting day." ”
"Old man, why are you so unreasonable?!"
Yinling suddenly jumped three feet high in anger: "I'm also from outside, why don't you throw me out." If the two weak women left the valley, they would definitely have no choice but to die. You're forcing them to hurry up and see Lord Yama!"
"You, who let you talk nonsense here," the patriarch turned red with anger: "Hurry up and get me out, have you finished your work today, go out!"
Cheng Jingjing didn't want their father and daughter to quarrel because of themselves, so she said: "The patriarch has the overall situation in mind, and Jingjing can understand." Thank you and your people for saving our lives, the great kindness is unforgettable, and I will leave after packing up our things with the painting in a few days, and I will not cause you any more trouble. ”
"Hey, don't leave yet," Yinling grabbed Cheng Jingjing, who wanted to leave, and threatened the patriarch: "If you refuse to take them in, I will leave with them, anyway, I will be tired of this place for a long time!"
"You unfilial girl!" The patriarch suddenly blew his beard and glared angrily, picked up his cane and hit her: "I pulled you with a handful of and urine, and now I talk to me like this, see if I don't kill you!"
"Patriarch, don't be impulsive, she just deliberately spoke to anger you!"
Cheng Jingjing hurriedly protected Yinling behind her, for fear that the patriarch would really beat her half to death.
"You fight, you can beat me casually," Yinling shouted from behind, "If you beat me to death, see how you explain to my father!"
"You-!" the old patriarch was speechless for a while, and finally threw his cane to the ground, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you can keep them if you want, if something happens in the future, see what you can do!"
Cheng Jingjing knew that she was a guilty person, and she never wanted the people in the valley to be involved, so she pulled Yinling's sleeve and persuaded her: "The patriarch is well-informed, he must think it's not good to keep us down, I think you don't have to fight with him, I and Huabian will leave as soon as possible." ”
"It's okay, he's just scaring you," Yinling said in a low voice, "I know this old man's temper best, he is just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he will forget about it in a few days." This valley is deeply hidden, and it will definitely not be found without acquaintances bringing in. I'll go and coax him later, and I'm sure there's nothing going on. ”
"Thank you. ”
Cheng Jingjing glanced at her gratefully, and then knelt down in front of the patriarch: "Thank you for your willingness to take us in, in the future, Huapan and I will definitely pay our own modest contribution to the valley." ”
"Alas, get up quickly," the patriarch helped her up, and said with a helpless face: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to take you in, but the ancestral training is standing there, for hundreds of years, our people have been able to settle down because of abiding by the ancestral teachings, and the ancestors were not from here, but fled from the outside." ”
