Chapter 117: The Shepherd Boy

It's not that the county lord of Jingning doesn't understand what Li Yao means, but she has kept this truth in mind since she was a child.

The newly bought subordinates are not familiar with the master, and sometimes they take it for granted that the master is easy to speak. The master who is good at talking is usually liked by the subordinates, but at the same time, the subordinates are easy to slacken.

The master who is good at talking is generally tolerant, so in the end, people will do things harmful to the master because the master is too tolerant. Therefore, she didn't pay attention to Li Yao's hints to her.

The main family didn't say to stop, and Sun Zhao kept slapping his little daughter. At the same time, she said words begging for mercy to Ji Moxuan's brothers and sisters, saying that her little girl was not sensible and asked the master to forgive.

Maybe I heard a lot of adults talking, so combined with my own understanding, Sun Xi's little girl and child said what adults said. Maybe she was too young to understand that what she said was suggestive. But the county lord of Jingning did not care about these reasons.

I only heard her say coldly: "It's the duty of a subordinate to listen more and say less, since your daughter doesn't understand, then don't say it." In the presence of the master, you must have the appearance of a subordinate. Whether you understand it or not, let others misunderstand you, that's your fault. Don't ask why it's your fault, who made you a subordinate who can't be your own master! Since your house was bought by my family, it is my family's possessions. Therefore, what the master does and thinks is not something you can do left and right. Feel free to hint and speculate on the owner's intentions, this is a taboo, your family should wait and remember! ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Yao and nodded.

In Jingning County's words, there was a hint of mentioning her and knocking on the new buyer. Li Yao can understand. Well, she subconsciously carried a modern sense of equality, forgetting that there was a clear distinction between master and servant, and there was also a flood of compassion. Sun Xi hinted at the master's words, whether intentional or unintentional, always failed to distinguish the relationship between the master and the servant.

After the county lord of Jingning said this, the Sun family, who first felt that the main family was not harsh and easy to get along with, and the rules were a little relaxed, all fell silent at this time. They shrank their shoulders and lowered their heads, and at the same time reminded themselves in their hearts: In the future, their own family will already be sold by others, and they must abide by their subordinates' duties.

This is beating Liwei! There is nothing wrong with the Jingning County Lord doing this.

Compared with a person like the county lord of Jingning, who is used to being a high-ranking class, Li Yao feels that he has to be familiar with it and has a lot to learn. But now she is an exile, no matter what others do, she herself can be as civilians as she wants without scruples.

Thinking so, she smiled lightly at the county lord of Jingning, and then no longer cared about it, but looked up at the sky.

When she was in Kyoto, she didn't feel that the sky in Kyoto was open, but when she came here, against the backdrop of the reckless green mountains and the wide river in the distance, she felt that the sky here was clear and very open, which made people feel free and unrestrained, and at the same time their hearts were also broadened.

As if to give her the occasional twitch of the comic literary soundtrack, the ox cart went uphill and passed through the open meadow on the slope. Not far from them, the herdsman was riding his horse and whipping the sheep, singing pastoral songs that he did not understand.

"Do you like to listen to this song?" Seeing that Li Yao closed her eyes and raised her head slightly, as if she was feeling something, Han Jin, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but ask.

"Huh...... Well, I like it, I think it calms people's hearts. Although I don't understand it, it doesn't prevent Li Yao from liking it. This pastoral song seems to have accumulated with the vicissitudes of time, and the melody is like a trickle of clear streams to soothe the impetuousness in the heart, making people instantly become quiet and peaceful.

In her previous life, she liked to listen to some folk songs with deep tunes. She was very impressed by the talent show, a little boy sang the song "Eji in the Dream", which was very moving, and the song was also very good to listen to, which made her think of her mother in her previous life at this time, and she was very sad in her heart.

After a while, as if she remembered something, she bared her teeth and whispered in regret: "I said, I forgot something!" Just now, Sun Zhao said that Yuyan is cold in winter, and Sun Xi also said let us prepare skins. The family's winter coats and skins are not ready for this time. ”

After a pause, she said thoughtfully, "Hmm...... The rice, noodles, meat, eggs, and other things I buy here are not only eaten at home, but also prepared for making wedding cakes. The wedding cake is to be sold in the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow. So there was still nearly ninety taels of silver left. This money is used to prepare winter clothes and leather for the family, I wonder if it is enough for the family to eat and spend? ”

A few days ago, I was so busy that my family ignored the August Festival. There are still two days to go until the August Festival, and the preparations are in a hurry, but Li Yao still plans to make some wedding cakes to sell.

MooncakesUntil two years before her grandmother's death, she would still eat her grandmother's homemade mooncakes. Every August Festival, her grandmother and acquaintances in the village would get together to make moon cakes, which she had participated in.

If she is asked to make mooncakes immediately in these two days, it will be too rushed. After all, she has only participated, and has not personally done it independently from beginning to end, and there are no ready-made abrasives. She thinks it's better to prepare for next year.

As a bear child, she finally remembered that in addition to eating, she also had to dress. Especially in the cold winter here, the leather should be prepared early. But this time the money has been spent, and it seems a little late to think about it.

Han Jin pursed his lower lip tightly, and also regretted: "You have only lived in the north for less than three years, and there are still people who have been waiting for you in the past three years, and the winter here is significantly colder than Yanjing, I forgot that I was confused." You can be forgiven for forgetting. But...... Anyway, we can't afford to wear expensive skins, after all, there are regulations in the imperial court, and non-dignitaries and palace nobles are not allowed to wear mink lynx and other skins. But we can always wear ordinary sheepskins, rabbit skins and other cheap skins. It was this money to buy the family's fur clothes, which seemed to be a little tight. And I don't know how cold it will be in the winter. ”

Well, even though Han Jin excused her without knowing what was going on, in fact she was really not the little girl in her original body. "Hey......" After a long sigh, Li Yao continued to comfort herself and her cousin: "Anyway, there is no way to spend all the money, so we still have money to buy food and drink." Later, we sell bean sprouts, and then we have to sell wedding cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival. When I think about it, I will save money, and there will always be more. Just now, Sun Xi also said that they are so cold in winter that they don't have cold clothes to wear, and we are already very good in this way. ”

The two of them whispered together, and the others were chatting or fuguing in their own ways.

The herdsman singing in the distance was followed by a child of five or six years old. The boy was riding a sheep, carrying an arrow on his back, and a small bow in his hand, and was looking around. When the ox cart came, the boy pointed to them with the herdsman on the horse.

The children of the local herdsmen in Yuyan have learned to ride horses at the age of three or five, and the children who ride sheep look very childlike and cute.

When the child riding the sheep shot an arrow at the hare running in the grass, there was a sudden commotion on the ox cart. Li Yao and Han Jin couldn't help but look around, wanting to know what was going on.

In the distance, about a hundred meters away, there were two herdsman teenagers on horseback at the horizontal level of the ox cart, and at this time, Noble pointed at the two teenagers and shouted to Han Jin, "Young Master, are they waving to us?" ”

"Huh?" Han Jin looked over. Many people in the car had already noticed that Han Jin and Li Yao were talking, and it was understandable that the two of them didn't notice this situation.

The two teenagers raised their arms and waved their hands, and the expressions on their faces didn't look like they wanted to simply greet Li Yao and the others. (To be continued.) )
