Chapter 103: A drop in the bucket (three watches)
Since Cheng Yimin went to the Seventh Uncle's side, Cheng Yiyao asked people to bring some things over every once in a while, although Cheng Yiyao didn't like Cheng Yimin, but relatively speaking, he just didn't like it, and it didn't get to the point of hating it.
In his previous life, Cheng Jingrui was imprisoned, the old grandfather and the old lady had already gone at that time, and the Chengguo Mansion became the world of the Wang family, the princess of the country, at that time, Cheng Yimin could still know whether his surname was Cheng or not the surname Wang, Cheng Yimin, who was only thirteen years old, was under pressure to work against Wang's biological mother, running around for his father, and at that time, Cheng Yiyao knew that he couldn't hate this younger brother.
Although he never regarded himself as a sister, although he would accept people to instigate him, he was the son of a family, the son of his father, and at the critical moment he still stood on the side of his father and the family, which was enough!
When I entered the small courtyard, I saw Cheng Yimin, who was dressed in coarse cloth, bending over and tinkering in the ground, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw Cheng Yiyao, and smiled a little uncomfortably: "Why did the big sister come over?" ”
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Yiyao glanced at it with some curiosity and asked.
Cheng Yimin was embarrassed to scratch his head, but when he saw the mud in his hand, he put it down and said, "Uncle Seventh asked me to weed the vegetables!" ”
"It seems that you are doing well here, these things are for you and Uncle Seven, if you need anything, please send a letter back." Cheng Yiyao motioned for An Huang to move things in.
Cheng Yimin hesitated for a moment and said: "Big sister, don't bring me clothes next time, these clothes are not needed here, and it is inconvenient for me to work without slippery hands." These pieces are still a little ill-fitting with Uncle Seven's old clothes, so why don't you bring a few coarse cloth clothes to my brother next time! ”
Cheng Yiyao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cheng Yimin, how long has it been. How did the seventh uncle teach, she really should ask for advice, so she nodded and said, "I wrote it down, by the way, is the seventh uncle here?" ”
"Uncle Seventh is in the house!" Cheng Yimin returned.
Cheng Yiyao didn't say anything more and turned around and walked towards the house, but she heard Cheng Yimin's voice behind her: "I'm sorry, I won't be in the future!" "The figure is slightly paused. Cheng Yiyao sighed lightly and stepped into the house.
When I entered the house, I saw that Uncle Seventh had already opened a food box and was picking it up. If you like it, she stuffed it into her mouth unceremoniously, and Cheng Yiyao didn't seem to be aware of it when she entered the house, and she was busy working there.
Cheng Yiyao didn't care much either, and said directly: "Seventh uncle." Yao'er is here to ask you something. ”
"What can you ask me for? I don't know how to do this, the female red housekeeper! The seventh uncle said without looking back.
"Do you know the leader of the cheetah?" Cheng Yiyao didn't beat around the bush with him, and got straight to the point.
The seventh old lady raised his head, and the only remaining eye looked at Cheng Yiyao and said, "What cheetah?" Haven't heard of it. Then he lowered his head and continued to tinker.
Cheng Yiyao waved his hand to signal An Huang to go out, and then said with a smile: "Seventh Uncle really doesn't know each other?" If the seventh old lady was a little surprised, maybe Cheng Yiyao was not so sure, but the seventh old lady, who had been floating on the rivers and lakes for so many years, was so calm when he heard the cheetah, and his eyes were too calm when he looked at her, and she asked a boudoir woman if she should give a sharp look.
"I have nothing to do to lie to you, what is a little girl doing?" The seventh old lady's hoarse voice said calmly.
"I just want to find someone to help me transport a batch of grain to my father, and now in the situation in the west, I, as a daughter, can't do anything else for my father. The only thing I can do is this, if the people of the cheetah can trust me, I still want to ask Uncle Seven to help me with this! Cheng Yiyao looked at the back of the seventh old lady and said.
"What's the use of all this food? I don't even care about the court, what do you care about a little girl! The seventh old lady's hoarse voice carried a faint helplessness.
"I'm just a boudoir woman, I can't do anything, and I can't control the situation in the court, but I know that if there is no food, my father will not be able to fight this battle, I just want to do everything I can now, I just want to help my father a little.
What if the Liang soldiers could retreat in just a few days, and if the grain and grass of the imperial court arrived in just a few days? Cheng Yiyao choked up, knowing the direction of this thing but he couldn't say it, he couldn't do it, and the only thing he could do was this.
"Go back!" The seventh old lady turned around and went into the back room directly, ignoring Cheng Yiyao no longer anymore.
Looking at the closed door, Cheng Yiyao was silent, but she could only look at it and turned away in disappointment.
Lying on the bed, Cheng Yiyao couldn't sleep steadily, without the permission of the seventh uncle, Cheng Yiyao didn't know that the seventh uncle would not help her, maybe in the eyes of the seventh uncle, she was making trouble unreasonably.
"I heard you were looking for me." A hoarse voice said lightly in the silent night.
Cheng Yiyao's heart couldn't help but shrink a little, and a fierce spirit turned his head stiffly and saw a figure appear in his room, and after a moment of sluggishness, he came to his senses, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "I want to ask you to take orders." ”
"I already know the matter, where is Miss Cheng's grain and grass?" The man in black didn't say much and asked directly.
Cheng Yiyao was overjoyed in his heart, and it seemed that this person had agreed: "The grain is in a Zhuangzi in the suburbs, out of the West City Gate, all the way to the west, the word 'Qinglin' is written outside the Zhuangzi!" Saying that, he leaned out of the quilt and threw a key to the ground, Cheng Yiyao didn't have the habit of wandering around in a middle coat in front of a strange man, "That, I'm a little inconvenient, so I can only bother you to take the silver yourself!" ”
In the darkness, he seemed to feel that the figure in black seemed to freeze for a moment, and then he took a step and squatted down to pick up the key: "Where is it?" ”
"It's right under the dresser!" Cheng Yiyao suppressed her voice and said, if someone finds out that there is a man in her room at this time, it will really be impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
The man in black took a few steps back to the edge of the dresser and opened the box, which was full of silver tickets, Cheng Yiyao said: "This is eight thousand taels of silver tickets, which is my commission, if you can help me buy some more grain and grass, please trouble!" ”
"Hmm!" The man in black put away the silver ticket in the box and placed it on the dresser.
"What is your relationship with Uncle Seven?" Cheng Yiyao asked after talking for a long time.
"You don't need to know this!" The man in black's hoarse voice came quietly, and then a flash leaped out of the open window and disappeared into the darkness.
After a long time, Cheng Yiyao got up, walked to the window and looked out, before closing the window, and the heart that had been hanging was half relieved. (To be continued......) R1292
