Chapter 51
"Come back"
Xiuche asked Miss with her eyes, what else is going on?
"Bring four portions, and you eat them together." Xiuqing Xiu Che thought about fighting for a long time and left silently, so late, they had nothing to eat in the kitchen, as maids, missing a meal is missing, they can only be hungry, unlike as a young lady, there is a hot meal to eat at any time, since the young lady said so, then four servings! Seriously, they're really hungry, and the young lady is still caring.
"Yes Miss"
After eating the meal quickly, Yuequan, who had figured out the fullness of eating, lay on the recliner and stretched comfortably.
"Miss, Sister Xiaomei outside the door said that my mother made you think of puzzles, not too difficult, but not easier than the previous ones." After Xiuqing finished speaking, her face did not change, in fact, she was still a little happy in her heart, and she was not sad for Miss at all, because she already knew that Miss was the famous Miss Li Jiasan, and these simple topics were trivial to Miss, so she didn't care at all about Sister Xiaomei's words.
After thinking about it for a long time, she thought of a riddle, although this riddle is simple, but not everyone's head can be turned, there is a thing, and only one is cut off with a knife.
Thinking of this, she quickly picked up the pen and wrote on the words, in order to be on the safe side, she had another question, she drew a landscape painting on rice paper, there were vague mountains, waterfalls, flowers, and birds, and after two hours of finishing, Xiuche worked overtime to frame the painting.
Holding a word and a painting, this can make Xiu Che blind, she looked at the young lady in confusion and smiled silently, so she could only be confused by the second monk and left stupidly.
Xiuche left, Yuequan wrote the once popular poem on another piece of paper, don't look at this poem is very simple, everyone can do it, but now in ancient times and not in modern times when 300 Tang poems are rampant, she can guarantee that not many people can write a better poem than this "painting".
Take out another piece of paper, draw a circle and write round characters, and let Xiuqing put it away and hang it behind the door.
After finishing this qiē Yuequan felt so tired, and the hour was almost up, she took a comfortable bath and went to bed early.
Holding this painting Xiuche is a little rutty, helpless, she can only find the almighty mother, knock on the door of the mother, said for this purpose, after the mother opened the painting and the puzzle, her eyes glowed, touched the chin without a beard, and praised it, if it is a person she is optimistic about, her head does not know what to pretend, so talented, she is a little jealous once or twice, not to mention women of the same generation.
While watching her, she ordered the master to come here, and she wanted to watch him frame, if this painting was sold, everyone would compete for it, and that would be money! In addition, now that Miss Rose is famous, there are many sons who compete for beautiful women.
In the early morning, the rooster crowed, the sky cut a small white mouth, Yuequan opened her hazy eyes, and it took about ten minutes to slowly get up, Xiu Che, who heard the movement outside the door, pushed open the door, pulled up the mosquito net, and put on clothes for the young lady, the weather was cold in autumn, and it was easy to catch a cold if you didn't pay attention.
"Miss, wait a minute, I'll go and bring the washbasin"
Yuequan nodded, Xiu Che came in with a hot copper basin with his hands and feet, Yuequan signaled Xiu Che not to wait for her to come by herself, rinsed her mouth with salt water, wiped her face with a white cloth, washed it, let Xiu Che take it away, opened the wardrobe and chose a simple dress to put on, sat on the dresser and looked at the pale face in the bronze mirror, thinking that her face was still good-looking before, although it was a little darker, at least a little bloody, the face in the copper mirror was pale and bloodless, it was also possible that she had been dreaming last night and had not slept well!
Xiuche, who poured water, came in with Xiuqing, Xiuqing combed Yuequan's simple tassel head with his hands and feet, and when he was about to insert jewelry, Yuequan signaled a pause and said, "Xiuqing, where is your home?" ”
Xiuqing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Little, Miss? ”
"Yes, that's what you think."
The excited Xiuqing danced and didn't know what to do, she was able to go home, thinking that she could see Xuan and her brother, thinking that Xiuqing couldn't stay any longer, she ran out of the house and prepared to prepare.
Seeing Xiuqing's rare shy appearance, Yuequan smiled silently, and she said to Xiuche, "Do you want to go home?" ”
Xiuche lowered his head and nodded with a red face, none of the children who left home did not want to go home.
"After going to Xiuqing's house, let's go to your house next time!"
Xiuche nodded in anticipation that the time would come soon, and said that he didn't want his father and mother to be crazy.
Yuequan, who had been waiting for half an hour, was a little impatient, why didn't that girl come back for half a day? The curious Xiuche ran to Xiuqing's room with her skirt up, pushed open the door and saw Xiuqing sitting on the ground whining and crying, which frightened Xiuche, she hurriedly ran over and said, "Xiu, Xiuqing, you, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiuqing, who was crying and crying, heard Xiu Che's voice and cried more and more sadly, Xiu Che, who didn't know what to do, crawled back to Tingyu Xuan, dragged the confused Yuequan to her house, and approached the house, Yuequan saw Xiuqing who was still crying, and she was also puzzled, "Xiuqing, what's wrong with you?" ”
Seeing that it was Miss, Xiuqing, who was crying, stammered, "Little, little, I, I want to buy clothes for Xuan and my brother, but, but I don't have any money." ”
Hearing this, Yuequan felt like he couldn't laugh or cry, "What kind of difficult thing is this, didn't you have a silver ticket yesterday?" You take it and use it, it's not enough for me to wait for my mother to borrow it. ”
"Too, too much."
A set of ordinary thick cotton clothes only costs five taels of silver, not so much at all, in fact, she only needs ten taels of silver is enough, before the excitement rushed too fast, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find things that Xuan and his brother can use, but after looking for a long time at all, there is no one, now she is sad and crying, no money and no things, how can she go to see Xuan and her brother, the more she thinks about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, so she is not sad to cry.
With money, Xiuqing finally has the confidence, she sucked her crying nose, wiped away her tears, and her words of thanks were no longer indescribable, she would live up to Miss in this life as a cow and a horse, and Xiuqing secretly swore in her heart.
After informing his mother, he put on his hat and got into the carriage from the back door, and Xiuqing said to the coachman, "Brother Da Niu, let's go to Liucun." ”
Throwing the bullwhip in the air, pausing for a second, continuing to drive the carriage on the road.
Liucun is in the east, out of the city to the east, the more remote it becomes, and finally stays under a willow tree, Xiuqing's carriage, which is very familiar with the neighborhood, jumped off before it stopped, scared Yuequan to have a heart attack, until Xiuqing is fine, Yuequan let go of his heart, and solemnly said with a straight face under Xiuche's support, "Xiuqing, I can understand your heart to go home, but this action is too dangerous, if I find it again, I will deprive you of the opportunity to go home next time, understand?" ”
Xiuqing didn't believe that Miss would do this until she was wrong, lowering her head and sticking out her little tongue, but she also knew that Miss was for her own good, and if she made a mistake, she had to admit her mistake, "I'm sorry Miss." ”
"It's good to know"
Say goodbye to the coachman Da Niu, Xiuqing jumped up and down and took the two of them to the river, the women by the river laughed and laughed in the laundry, the naughty boys rolled up their sleeves and pants to fish in the riverbed, and the girls stood by the river to pick wild vegetables, seeing such a harmonious scene, Yuequan had to think of the happy days in Qingzhou Town, although the master was tired, but very happy, very happy.
I really want to go back to that time, but unfortunately I can't go back, and Yuequan's eyes are dim.
Along the way, people came and went to greet Xiuqing, and Xiuqing's parents came to pick them up with Xiuqing's younger brother, of course they knew what Yuequan did, but they didn't dislike it at all, Linglong Pavilion was still okay in the local rating, and even the village chief came to welcome the guests when they heard the wind.
Follow Xiuqing's parents to Xiuqing's house, Xiuqing's house is a mud house, not strong, once the flood wall corner will collapse is very dangerous, but this village is poor, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and you can't make a few dollars selling game and wild vegetables, so you can see that you are generally poor all the way.
Sitting in the living room of Xiuqing's house, Xiuqing's mother gave Yuequan two bowls of rock sugar water to them, the best tea to entertain distinguished guests in the countryside is rock sugar water, drinking the rock sugar water that can hardly taste the taste, Yuequan does not dislike it but her heart is warm, she smiled and drank a bowl of water, stood up and walked to the village chief and said, "Do you have time to talk?" ”
Seeing Yuequan's serious gaze, the village chief nodded in surprise, the two went to the kitchen together, Yuequan took out the remaining money and handed it to the village chief, the village chief rarely saw so much money, it was impossible not to be moved, more shocked, he didn't know what Yuequan meant?
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and along the way, the roads are remote, and in the end, you can't even get in the carriage."
The village chief, who understood the meaning, lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Our village is very poor, I don't know what you fancied?" ”
Yuequan shook his head and sighed, "I don't need anything, if you want to get rid of poverty, just collect it and benefit the people!" ”
The village chief looked at Yuequan's serious gaze seriously, he stretched out his trembling hand and solemnly took the money, and swore an oath, "I, Zhang Ming, swear that this money will be used for road repair, and I will never embezzle a penny." ”
"Okay, I believe you're a good village chief, but you just didn't have a chance before."
The soundproofing of the kitchen was poor, and they were all curious about what the beautiful young lady was talking about with the village chief, so everyone stretched out their heads to listen to their voices, and saw what they were doing, until they saw so much money, and when they heard that it was a road construction, everyone was shocked, and it was a lie to say that they were not shocked.
Sorry, a few days on a business trip, a few days empty, sorry!!
