Chapter 10: Fame

It's so hot, it's really hard to stay in the house.

Leisurely pulled one in one hand, took the two babies to the well, removed the cover of the stone well, and made a cool bucket of water.

"Come and wash your hands." Leisurely poured half a basin of water.

The two girls obediently stood under the old locust tree, bent their little bodies, washed their hands seriously, and rubbed their little faces with their little hands after washing their hands.

Leisurely chuckled and patted the second baby's little hand, "Why are you so vigorous?" His face was rubbed. ”

"Grandma said that this would wash the white." Gao Vanilla was convinced, thinking that she could wash white, her eyebrows were smiling, and her eyes were filled with two puddles of water.

"Huh." smiled leisurely and didn't speak, washed the handkerchief twice, folded it, and then wiped Gao Xiangxiang's face inch by inch.

Gao Xiangye didn't wash it, and pouted, "Mother, I want it too!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

It was really hot, and he looked up at the sun again, and lowered his head in only a second. When I casually looked towards the thatched hut, I found that the man was looking at the place with relish, to be exact, looking at the well.

It's really a child of a big family, and it's strange to see anything.

After washing the faces of the two children leisurely, he wiped their little arms and legs, and then let them play while he entered the grass house of Wen Po.

Inside, Wen Po lit the fire, and Li had already baked the cakes, so it was almost below.

"Aunt Li, I'll come." Leisurely go over and help.

Li waved his hand, "It's almost ready, quickly clean up the dining table and beckon the officials to eat." ”

"Alas...... The poor mountains and rivers are poor, and there is no decent food for the officials to eat......" Wen Po had a bitter wrinkled face, and she was illuminated by the firelight, and the bitterness was a little hideous.

Poor mountains and bad waters...... Thinking about the word leisurely, he walked out.

Under the big locust tree, the two of them are talking and singing, and they are playing with bay leaves and herbs. He chuckled leisurely and walked into the grass house again.

In the house, Zhan Qinghui was scanning the situation in the house little by little, in fact, the house was very small, and it was clear at a glance, which showed that he was looking for something.

Leisurely pondered for a while, and said: "You came just in time today, it just so happened that I picked up your things a few days ago, and now I will return them to you." ”

After finishing speaking, I leisurely went to get the mirror.

Zhan Qinghui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's given to you, the right to do it, today's meal money." After saying that, his brow furrowed.

"Official, it's time to eat! Vanilla, stop playing! Li shouted at a few people in the courtyard.

Here, I leisurely put away the mirror, hurriedly put away the basket on the wooden table, and the shoes that Wen Po cut, and then wiped the table with a tablecloth.

Li walked in with pancakes and noodles, and warmly greeted Zhan Qinghui for dinner. Leisurely bowed his head and retreated.

"Aunt Li, let's leave after eating here." Leisurely grabbed Lee.

"How can it, the two stinky boys are still at home!"

"Then let them all come." ”

"Look at what you say." Li lowered his voice, "The masters are here, it's not good to break the rules, let the masters laugh." ”

It's because I'm afraid that it won't look good and make people laugh.

In addition, those flour and eggs were borrowed leisurely, and they all came to eat, so I was afraid that I would not be able to tell them clearly.

Zhan Qinghui held a pancake in one hand and pickled vegetable gnocchi in the other.

"Whoo......" With a long sound, Zhan Qinghui swallowed a large mouthful of noodles.

The two catchers couldn't stand it anymore, and their eyes hugged silently, wanting to hit the wall.

After eating and drinking, Zhan Qinghui stood up satisfied, took out a piece of broken silver while no one was paying attention, and threw it into the basket containing the pancakes.

The family stood outside the door and watched for a long time, until the backs of the three disappeared.

Seeing that the two thatched houses at the head of the village were gone, Zhan Qinghui said "wow" and squatted on the side of the road and vomited.

The two catchers were about to panic, "Master! You can't eat it, but you still eat it! Neither of us can eat that meal, and you still pretend to be a delicacies from the mountains and the sea. It was a short man named Zhu Ming who spoke.

"Oh, don't say it! Didn't you feel uncomfortable seeing you! The tall Song Yan patted Zhan Qinghui's back distressedly, worried.

"Master, don't go, our brothers will take turns to carry you back to the ya." The short man's voice was much softer.

Zhan Qinghui stood up, exhaled a cloudy breath, and shook his head.

Suddenly, his expression became solemn, which made the two brothers at a loss, and walked silently with their heads down.

In the thatched hut, leisurely beckoning everyone to eat, the cake is fine, the noodles are all pasted, taste a bite, it is really unpalatable, leisurely frowning.

I don't even dare to put oil, I can eat a fart. In his previous life, he was very picky about his diet, and he really regretted it, why didn't he cook?

Well, it seems that Aunt Li was rushing to cook at that time.

I really couldn't eat it, so I put it down leisurely, reached out to get the pancakes, first gave it to Wen Po, and then took one in half, and handed it to the two babies, "The noodles are too unpalatable, don't eat them." ”

"Chrysanthemum ......" Wen Po glanced at her, "How can you waste it like this, sin, sin!" ”

"It is a sin to spoil good flour like this!" After speaking, he went to collect the bowl leisurely, "Feed the chickens in the afternoon, and don't waste it." ”

Wen Po didn't let her accept it, and ate her bowl of rice in her hand.

After the meal, when the basket was collected, I suddenly saw that there was a piece of broken silver in the basket, at least two taels.

My heart was suddenly not at peace! What does this man mean? Didn't you say that the mirror was worth the price of the meal? No, no, the mirror is much more than these two taels of silver.

Relief for the poor? Don't be funny! It's better to say that he's having fun.

Leisurely put away the piece of silver, put it together with the mirror, and secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to return it all.

When the sun set, Sun Daogu sent people to send all the stolen rice, flour, eggs, and silver money, and instructed him to take care of the door.

As soon as he sent the people away, Li smiled and walked softly.

"There is nothing more reassuring in this world than this." Lee sighed.

"Not really!" Wen Po pulled Li affectionately and tilted her head, "I don't know what the county master judged, what happened to that family!" ”

"That's what I'm talking about, and now the village is in trouble, and everyone is talking about it. I heard that Gao Xiang suddenly retracted his confession when he arrived in the hall, and he didn't admit it alive or dead, and only hit ten boards, so he recruited everything. The county magistrate enforced the law fairly and sentenced Gao Xiang to three months in prison, Wu broke his head and shouted for mercy, the county magistrate looked pitiful, so he ordered someone to beat ten boards and fined five dollars in silver. ”

"Then Gao Zhu is willing to pay for it?" Wen Po glared.

"Of course not!"

"Because of this, I completely angered the county master, and in the end, Gao Xiang was beaten with another twenty boards, and his ass was all blooming!"

"The! It's time to fight! Dead thief! Thieves who steal! A sharp interjection made the Li family and Wen Po stop suddenly.

Leisurely looked towards the owner of the voice, but saw a woman walking gracefully, well-dressed, with flowers on her head and rouge on her face.

This person is Gao Shuilian, who lives in the west of the village, and is the daughter of Gao Xiucai, a famous person in the village, who is sixteen or seventeen years old this year.

When the three brothers Gao Xiang, Gao Wen, and Gao Wu were young, they studied with Gao Xiucai for a few years, when Gao Shuilian was only five or six years old, and played with the three brothers all day long. What's more, both families have the surname Gao, and they are considered to be the same family, and they often come and go now.

"Miss Gao is out! Are you getting better? Li smiled and said hello.

Gao Shuilian's eyes were bright, and she smiled and greeted Aunt Li in return.

"You see, the daughter of a scholar is different." Lee's praise.

Gao Shuilian smiled, and said hello to Wen Po rudely, and finally glanced at her leisurely, nodded, and called "Qiu Niangzi", which was regarded as a greeting.

The atmosphere was awkward.

This treatment is really different! Look at the disgusted little eyes, the disdainful little movements...... I think it's funny when I look at it leisurely, and I think I'm ashamed? Shame on you, don't come and stand with me!

"Wen Po, go home."

Leisurely ignored the man, and walked towards the courtyard with Wen Po in his arms.

Lee's embarrassment, neither staying nor leaving.

To her surprise, Gao Shuilian was not angry at all, but smiled: "It's okay, Qiu Niangzi is like this." ”

"Actually, Qiu Niangzi is very good." Lee scoffed.

"I know, Aunt Li, who said she was bad? It's just ......" The words changed, and her voice lowered, "After she made such a fuss, the little reputation that was left is gone, and I just feel sorry for Qiu Niangzi." ”

He shook his head as he spoke.

"She originally had a bad reputation, everyone saw that she was also a poor person, and it was not ...... to be able to help" This remark caused Li's agreement and kept nodding.

"However, this time she is too much, how can the tall lady say that she was also her mother-in-law, and Sister Qian was her second sister-in-law, she will fight when she says she will fight, this is okay, she is a little trouble, it is considered to be closed, but because of her, Brother A Xiang suffered 40 boards today, and his life is almost gone!"

The more Gao Shuilian spoke, the more angry she became, and she wiped her rouge face, which became more ruddy.

"Although Brother Ah Xiang is indeed not angry in this matter, as the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, poor Brother A Wu has no bones and no bones, and his soul returns to the wilderness, but he doesn't want to be treated like this by his family today."

After speaking, he burst into tears.

Li Shi knew about it, saw that she was sad, and thought of Gao Wu's sturdy and promising young man, and also sighed sadly.

"How can you be so ruthless? This face, this reputation, does she really not want it? Wiping her tears, Gao Shuilian was angry.

Then he looked at Li Shi and said, "Do you know what people say about her now?" …… is ruthless and vicious, and anyone who gets involved with her will not end well. ”

These words shocked the Li family, it was so bad! Originally, when Qiu Juhua said that she wanted to report to the official, she also felt that it was inappropriate, after all, it was the Gao family's doing, and it was obvious that she would take revenge for yesterday's humiliation. But when she heard that the money was so much money that she didn't leave anyone alive at all, she wavered.

"Don't believe it, don't hide it from you......" Gao Shuilian's voice lowered again, "My father once secretly gave Qiu Niangzi a life, she is actually a lone star who has not been met in a hundred years, and she will arrest whom." ”

"Really?"

Lee was stunned.

Within two days, the news spread in the village, and when everyone looked at the thatched hut again, they only felt that it was a forbidden land.
