Chapter 64: Disguise
As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Xiang Zhu got up in the morning to buy everything needed for the young master. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe silk and satin that the young lady of the Xiao family usually wears is not easy to buy in Yuanzhou, but the tea farmers who work in the tea garden are easy to find the clothes for picking tea. But after going around the street, a few pieces of clothing were in hand.
took his clothes back to the inn, changed his clothes, turned around a few times in front of the bronze mirror, and smeared some mud on his own hands, Xiao Chuxuan nodded with satisfaction.
She is dressed up well here, although she is not like an ordinary poor woman, but she has also lost a little luxury. It's his own brother's place, a romantic person, no matter how he dresses up, he is still dazzling. When he went out and looked at the third brother who looked at the coarse linen clothes on his body with a disgusted face, and even his hair was tied up in a regular manner, and his face was white and clean, Xiao Chuxuan began to feel a headache.
Chu Heng's appearance, which looks like a master who needs to do rough work, suddenly looks like a son, and it is clear that he is still the son of a rich family. is like Xiao Chuheng, if he really led him to the tea garden, saying that his family was poor and wanted to go into the tea garden to help make money and subsidize the family. Unless the person who recruited the tea garden was blind, or he would believe her words, there would be ghosts.
The son of a rich family can't change the temperament of a rich family in his life, and immediately Xiao Chu was depressed, and walked straight up without waiting for the third brother to greet him, and directly raised his mud-stained hand and slapped it on Chu Heng's face. This hand was raised and patted, and before Chu Heng could come back to his senses, what happened, Chu Rui, who came out of the next step, directly laughed and collapsed there, falling on Han Hua and laughing vigorously, his appearance was very exaggerated.
Seeing that his fourth brother was very happy, Chu Heng was naturally fascinated, and immediately called Xiao Shou to fetch the bronze mirror, and after looking at the bronze mirror, he directly turned into a flower face, Xiao Chuheng said in a sullen voice: "Eldest sister, what are you doing." ”
"What have I done, and what have I asked you? Wearing a ragged clothes looks like a son, how do you let us get into the tea garden? "She made a lot of calculations, but she missed the calculation, what if they didn't pretend to be poor people? The more I thought about it at the moment, the more I felt a headache, and I turned my head to look at the three equally magnificent masters behind me.
Xiao Chu groaned and groaned directly.
Chaotian rolled his eyes, and then mourned: "God, with the three of you, how do I think we won't be able to get mixed up in this life." ”
"If you can't get in, then change the way."
The tea picker in the tea garden, Xiao Chuheng is very interested, but this young master, who is used to wearing silk and satin, really can't stand the coarse linen clothes on his body. After listening to the eldest sister's sigh, Xiao Chuheng simply proposed to give up this method of finding guilt, and followed Xiang Zhu and the others straight into the branch.
Directly into the branch, it is the next step for Xiao Chusu to come, and at the moment, Xiao Chusu said: "If you want to escape halfway, don't think about it!" Isn't it just a garden, I don't believe I can't get in. I'm going to take the three of you to give it a try, and maybe we'll be lucky enough to run into a blind overseer." ”
Before he started acting, he had to give up in advance, which was not in line with Xiao Chusu's usual style of acting. At that moment, she led the three of them directly to the tea garden, and she wanted to see if she could enter the large tea field of the Xiao family.
I didn't think that things would go so smoothly that she was surprised, and I don't know if it was because the tea pickers were extremely short of manpower, as long as someone came, they were happy to ask for it, or if the person who oversaw the work really didn't have long eyes. When Xiao Chuxuan smiled and asked if there was still a shortage of tea farmers in the Xiao family's tea garden, the supervisor in charge of recruiting people didn't even lift his eyelids, but just asked some general things, then took a work deed and asked them to stamp it on it, and then raised his hand to signal them to go in.
stared at his hands the whole time, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked like a man who was not happy to take care of it.
Waiting for people to enter the tea field, looking at the overseer behind him who was cross-legged and muttered about the good weather, Chu Rui said: "Eldest sister, when our things are done, after we go back, can I kick that guy?" ”
That look like a young master is even more like him, which is really unpleasant.
The overseer sitting on the rattan chair outside, not to mention that Xiao Churui didn't like it, even Xiao Churui was unhappy in his heart. Glancing backwards at the moment, Xiao Chu was stunned and said, "When the matter is done, it's up to you, if you can't kick it alone, I'll let Chu Heng help you." But don't talk about these things now, it's important to do the things at hand first. ”
They have important things to do when they enter the tea fields, and they don't waste so much thought on these little people who don't care. Anyway, these little people are angry today, and they will be able to pay it back in a few days, and there is no need to rush to thank others for a little grievance.
I had a bad idea in my heart, it was rare for the eldest sister to be so happy, and Chu Rui was not entangled for a while, but followed the eldest sister to the overseer who led the way, and entered the tea garden.
They took the tea cage from the overseer and were led directly into the tea garden.
A whole piece of tea tree oil spread out, showing the color of spring, under the spring dyeing, the wind brings a little bit of tea tree fragrance, smelling refreshing.
If you are in normal times, you should come to such a place to take a good breath and enjoy the warmth of spring. It's a pity that they don't have this kind of leisure Yaxing at the moment, not only Yaxing, but also not qualified to have this kind of Yaxing. The talent had just entered the tea field, and before he even had time to look up and glance at the spread of tea green, he asked the overseer in the tea field to push it, and then gritted his teeth and roared roughly.
"Look at what, don't hurry up and work, if you work slowly, don't want any of today's wages."
It is normal to be treated with these rough treatments, which makes people push Chu Rui Chu Heng is of course not happy in his heart, but Xiao Chu is stunned. Before the two brothers got angry, they hurriedly apologized to the overseer, said sorry repeatedly, and turned their heads to glare at their brothers, telling them to hurry up and work and not cause trouble.
Chu Heng Chu Rui grew up with gold in his mouth, and the Xiao family's business had grown up before he was born, so the heirs of the Xiao family had never suffered hardship. Not to mention bitterness, I haven't even eaten grievances a few times, and now I ask people to stare at them like this, scolding them before they can do anything, and of course they are unhappy in their hearts.
However, Xiao Chuxuan is not the kind of suffering that they can't bear half of the grievances, she is an orphan, she has no family background and background, and the grievances she suffered when she first came out of society are not necessarily much less than now. She had heard a lot of insults from others before, so she didn't take them to heart at all, and it was impossible for her to disturb her mind because of this kind of insult.
If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy, Xiao Chuxuan understands this truth, and secretly signaled his brother not to come nonsense, and he didn't forget to smile on his face, and said words of apology.
These guys who look down on people are really angry, how can the eldest sister endure it, they can't say anything, they can only grit their teeth and hold back the anger in their stomachs.
Although the four people who just came in didn't look like they could work, they still knew how to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, so the overseer didn't continue to scold, and said a few words to let them do things faster.
After getting the words, he didn't waste any more time, and Xiao Chuxuan began to learn from some tea farmers on the side to pick the tender tea on the trees.
Tea picking is simple, but it is actually difficult to do. The tender tea looks delicate, as if it will break the branch and fall directly at the slightest touch, but in fact, if you want to pick the tea leaves, you need to be skillful, you can't pinch it off with your fingernails, you can only rely on the strength of your fingers to pick it.
Although it doesn't take much effort, for these young ladies who have never done rough work, these hands are about to bleed after a long time.
After picking for a morning, I knew that the firewood and rice were hard, and I still felt that it was not an extremely difficult thing, but I could really start to do it, and I realized that every simple thing needed to be tempered before it could be achieved.
Looking down at the new sprouts in the tea basket, Xiao Chu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that when she was still in her original body, she could carry the table and chair, and the lower could carry bricks and water. When the power goes out, a bucket of water is directly wrung up to the eighth floor, even if she later became a white-collar supervisor, she never borrowed the hands of others to do things by herself.
Can now? Looking at these pair of delicate onion roots and jade fingers that had never even touched the spring water, Xiao Chu felt that this rich young lady was almost half wasted. Looking at the tea leaves that were only a few taels, Xiao Chu couldn't help but feel disgusted with himself, so he turned his head and glanced at the tea basket of his brother on the left and right, and saw the amount of new tea in it, and the sigh that was blocked in his heart sank even more.
The tea in her basket is already a little too little, but compared to the two younger brothers, it can be several times more, so that Xiao Chuxuan began to suspect that these two bastards on the left and right are really doing something?
The young master had never endured hardships, and it was rare to be able to accompany Xiao Chusu to stand under the sun for several hours, but it was Hanwha, who was a few steps away from them. Xiao Chusu, the son surnamed Han, has always thought a little bit about it, especially the Tang family's preserved fruit, and he has been a little more careful, but now looking at the tea in his tea basket, Xiao Chusu rarely doubts himself.
Although not as skilled as the tea farmers, it is not as good as their own brothers who have to pick and choose a tea, and the new shoots in the basket are like jade beads. The speed of picking is so fast, to the point that there is a bit of rough skin and dry meat that has been practiced in business for a long time. There are more than two hours of pestle here in the morning, and the tea farmers don't know how much they have picked, but a few of them, and they always add up to know if they can catch a milk baby, which is really embarrassing.
After a busy morning, and noon had arrived, the overseer asked the tea farmers to rest first. Xiao Churui, who had already picked the skin of his fingertips, just heard that he could rest, and ran directly towards the cool place under the tree without looking back. And Xiao Chuheng and the other two, although they were also a little tired, still took care of a few points, and slowly walked towards the direction of rest as everyone walked.
I chose a place everywhere, sat down on the spot, and watched some of the tea farmers sit together and chat, and some lean on the side to close their eyes and rest for a while. Before, he was busy picking tea and had no intention of everything around him, but now it is rare to sit down and rest, Xiao Chuxuan can be regarded as finding time to pay attention to his surroundings.
A rough glance showed that some tea farmers sat under the trees to rest, but more sat directly in the tea fields. It's not that they don't want to leave the tea field to rest, it's just that there are too few places to settle down and rest, so it's better to sit directly in the tea field, and the supervisor shouts to start work for a while, so it is better to start work immediately.
These tea farmers are of different ages, some are big and some are small, the small ones look only 12 or 3, their immature faces are a little tired, and the older ones are probably in their fifties, and their thin and dry faces are the poor families of the wind and frost for a lifetime. Especially the hands that rested on their knees or baskets at will, black and withered, full of calluses, which made people feel sour when they looked at them.
They are in the Xiao family, with fine clothes and fine food, and luxury every day, but what about these tea farmers? Not to mention the hardships of life, at a glance, there were a few young children who looked thin and weak, as if they had never had a full stomach.
The Xiao family doesn't know how much silver they invest in the Jiangnan Tea Garden every year, and the wages paid to the tea farmers are higher than a year, but what about the tea farmers? These unreasonable tea farmers in the mouth of the nephew of the steward? Is this the result of their own trickery?
This scene was touched in her heart, Xiao Chu kept watching, and when she was scanning the tea farmer sitting in the tea field, someone picked up her hand and wiped the wound on the tip of her hand. The wound was touched, and it hurt at the time, and Xiao Chusu, who gasped and brought back to his senses, only to find that it was the third brother who held his hand and hurt him.
It seemed that seeing his worn hands, Chu Heng gently picked up the eldest sister's hand, wiped the wound with the corner of the cloth that was still clean on his body, and said, "Eldest sister, why are you suffering?" Look at your hands, they're all broken. ”
is worried on the mouth, with a little distress in the tone, in this world, I can still feel so sorry for myself, I am afraid that only these brothers in the family are the first few brothers. Seeing Chu Heng gently wiping his hands, to be honest, Xiao Chuxuan was quite heartwarming in his heart, but it was one thing to be heartwarming, and it was another thing to see what Xiao Chuheng was thinking about what he was thinking about what he said.
At the moment, he took out his hand and shook the hand that slowly made the third brother rub it more painfully, Xiao Chu said: "It's a trivial matter, isn't it just a little skin, I can pick it another one or twenty catties after a while." But the two of you, can you fight a little bit and pick those some in one morning, you are really embarrassed to show your hands? ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were instantly deflated, looking at the green piece of tea, Chu Rui said: "Eldest sister, the third brother and I have done our best, this thing is really not done by people." ”
"It's not a human thing, could it be that the tea farmers in this tea field are ghosts? Take 10,000 steps back and say, you have never done it, and Han Gongzi is not like you, he has never done such rough work. But you see, the tender tea that Han Gongzi picked in the morning is enough for the two of you to play for three days. ”
"Eldest sister, Han Gongzi is comparable to the two of us, people have thick skin and dry flesh, and they don't know pain."
When he said this, Han Hua, who was thick-skinned and dry-skinned, laughed, but Xiao Chu was stunned and glanced at him directly. Seeing that the eldest sister rolled her eyes and shook her own hand, Xiao Chuheng hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, be careful when shaking your hand, don't hurt yourself again." ”
Worrying about the eldest sister in everything, the third young master is the most hearted, but his heart is also clear in his heart, and he should say at the moment: "Don't remind me of the broken hole in my hand all the time, don't say it's this little bit, even if it is bleeding hard, it is impossible for me to agree with the two of you to slip away halfway." ”
I thought that the hardship had already been suffered, and the eldest sister should also realize that this errand was not suitable for them, but I didn't expect that the eldest sister, whose hands were already broken, had no intention of leaving at all, and even warned them that no one should think of leaving this place halfway.
At the moment, these two noble sons who suffered hardships and didn't dare to complain and could only swallow their depression in their mouths were full of sullenness.
The eldest sister disagreed, of course Chu Heng Chu Rui would not leave the eldest sister and leave alone, they who couldn't leave here and had to continue to suffer, so they were depressed. I was about to open my mouth to complain, but before I could complain, I saw Hanwha cough lightly.
Hanwha's cough hinted at someone walking towards them, and several of them were instantly silent as they looked at the tea farmer walking towards them.
