The iron steward understood that since it was a master who did not want to show his face and exposed these two people in front of him, he must have wanted to teach them a lesson by the hand of Yan Mansion, so he had to give some face.

But Cai Er has a very good relationship with him, and he is so hard to intercede, how can he give some face.

Cai Eryi heard that he could be punished lightly, and hurriedly asked: "Little brother is stupid, I don't know how to be punished less, please make it clear to Brother Tie." ”

He was anxious, anxious, and incoherent, and he would call him a brother and a brother for a while. The iron butler could see that he was really anxious, so he said: "Second brother Cai, you and I are like brothers, and I will remind you that our old lady is the most respectful and filial person." ”

Cai Er is honest, his brain can't turn around, he didn't understand the meaning of his words, he blinked his eyes in confusion, and then said: "The old lady is indeed kind-hearted. ”

After speaking, a pair of eyes stared at the iron butler, and hoped that he would make it clear.

Lin Zhu, who had been standing behind the iron butler and adding water tea from time to time, couldn't help it without inserting a word, and interjected in a low voice: "Dad, what my Uncle Tie means is that I can let my uncle and third uncle say that my grandmother wants to eat fresh wheat, so they took the risk to steal the ears of wheat, in order to fulfill their filial piety, is it Uncle Tie." ”

When adults talk about business, it stands to reason that children are not allowed to interject, but this father is too dull, and he can't understand the words when he is handed to his mouth.

The iron butler looked back at Lin Zhu appreciatively, stroked his beard and said, "Second brother Cai, Zhu'er is much smarter than you." That's it, Ming'er will go and see them. Just let them say that, and nothing else. It's good to look at things for my brother. But in the front, the pain of breaking the flesh must be suffered. ”

Cai Er thanked him again and again, and the iron housekeeper drank a few sips of tea and took his son to say goodbye. Cai Er took Lin Zhu out to see him off, and he was very grateful.

Lin Zhu stood in front of the gate of the vegetable garden and watched the iron housekeeper Dabao walk away, suddenly remembered something, and said to Caier: "Dad, you go in first, I forgot to tell Brother Dabao one thing." ”

After saying that, he trotted all the way to chase.

Lin Zhu and Dabao have been together since childhood. The relationship is very iron, Dabao usually comes to the vegetable garden as long as Yan Wuwu is fine, and he runs forward and backward by Lin Zhu's side. Following his father today, Dabao has always been afraid of his father. Don't dare to talk much. It must be that the daughter is hungry again. To extort Dabao. Let him help her bring something delicious to the capital.

This kid can bully Dabao.

Nanaji shook his head and went into the vegetable garden. Lin Yunlinduo, the second lady who was hiding in the Lin Zhu's house next door, dared to go out and ask.

Lin Zhu chased to the corner of the backyard wall of Yanfu before catching up with the iron housekeeper Dabao, who heard the voice and turned his head to see that it was her. Stopping, the iron butler asked, "Zhu'er, slow down." I'm so tired of running, but what's the matter? ”

"Yes." Lin Zhu ran to the iron butler and said, "Uncle Tie, Dabao, Zhu'er wants to ask you for something." Please also ask Uncle Tie for help. ”

The iron butler habitually stroked his goatee and asked with a smile in his eyes: "But you want to intercede for your eldest uncle and third uncle?" ”

Lin Zhu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not." My uncle and third uncle are idle all day long, and when they are old, they still look like a gangster, and since they have committed something, they have to be punished. But I'd like to ask Uncle Tie to help me change the punishment. ”

After she finished speaking, she told the story of the silver that Sima Mingzhu had rewarded that day and was robbed and then chased.

I see, the iron butler Dabao suddenly looked at each other in realization. No wonder the two of them were tied up and slept in the sleeping hole, it turned out that there were high-ranking people who saw injustice and vented their anger for a few little girls.

The iron butler smiled and said, "Zhu'er wants Uncle Tie to teach your two uncles a lesson?" ”

Lin Zhu bit his rosy lip and smiled shyly, and whispered the plan that had just come up.

Dabao laughed before he finished listening, and the iron butler listened to her with great interest. With a loving and appreciative smile on his face, he said: "This is easy, don't worry, Uncle Tie will definitely be able to do it." ”

After speaking, he looked at the sky, the moon was exceptionally bright, and there was silence around, and he said to Dabao: "Dabao, go and send Zhu'er back to the vegetable garden." ”

He carried his hands back to Yanfu.

Early the next morning, Cai Er begged Chef Zhu to let him go to see the eldest brother and the third brother, not long after entering the house. The iron butler came with the great treasure.

There were also five or six subordinates behind him, all holding short sticks in their hands, very powerful.

He didn't enter the house, took out a wooden sign from his waist and said to Chef Zhu: "Zhu Tou'er, these two people will be handed over to the old man." Yesterday, you and your brothers worked hard, take this brand, and go to the warehouse to get a jar of fine wine, plus two taels of silver. ”

Chef Zhu and his subordinates happily took the wooden plaque to get the things.

The iron butler said to his subordinates, "Take these two men to the vegetable garden opposite the back door, and don't dirty the house." ”

A few wolf-like Yanfu thugs pushed Lin Yi Lin and Lin three out of the courtyard of the back kitchen, pushed the back garden, and pushed the back door.

Came to the vegetable garden. Nanaji was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and he only followed behind.

The iron housekeeper sat in the open space in front of the vegetable garden house, and Lin Yi and Lin Sangen knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic. The second child had already told them again and again just now, to say so and so.

Sure enough, the iron housekeeper heard the two say that it was because his mother was old and wanted to eat fresh wheat, and the family had no land, so he dared to steal a little bit from the wheat field of Yanfu.

The tense Bao Gong's face softened and said, "It turned out to be for filial piety, but this is understandable." Either way, it's theft. No penalty, no good. ”

He pretended to stroke his beard deeply and thought for a while before he said, "You two, but you can endure hardships for the sake of your mother? ”

Although Lin Yiyi and Lin Ergen usually fight and fight, and have bad deeds, they are only limited to small fights, but they have never really sat in the board room, nor have they really been beaten by the board.

They have seen these punishments, and the ass is simply blooming, and it will be a month or two of recovery sooner.

Lin Yiyi hurriedly said: "Yes, as long as it is for the sake of my mother, I am willing to do anything." ”

Lin Sangen was also busy saying: "Yes, willing." Yes. ”

The iron housekeeper said: "The old lady often tells us that filial piety comes first, since you two are so filial, the old man is embarrassed to brush your filial piety." Cai Er is your brother, he is a very good person, just for his sake, spare your beating. But there is still a punishment, since you are very filial, and your mother wants to eat fresh wheat, so be it, Caiji went and invited your mother. ”

Lin Zhang heard that something had happened to his son. Forget the grievances of the previous days. hurriedly rushed over with his two daughters-in-law, and knelt down as soon as he saw the iron housekeeper, and the Li family and the Lu family also knelt down.

Although his own son man is not a thing, after all, he is a person who is a top household.

The iron steward ordered Dabao to help Lin Zhang's family. Brushing his beard, he said, "Aunt Lin." Thinking about it, the two brothers have already told the truth of the matter just now. I won't say more. Well, since your two sons are very filial, they want your old man to eat fresh wheat. I will fulfill them, and now is the busy season of farming, so I will let them go to the farms and fields in the house to help do short-term work, take care of food and housing, five catties of grain, two catties of wheat, and three catties of miscellaneous grains every day, and the wages will be deducted from the money for stealing ears of wheat, and it will only be one or two pieces of silver. If you can, if you can, follow you to the warehouse to get the food, and the salary will be paid in a few days. ”

Lin Yiyi, Lin Sangen's heart was cold, although the subordinates of Yanfu were ordinary people, they couldn't do it. But it is not something that ordinary people can bear to bring sins like them, although they eat well, I heard that they are called by cattle and horses.

But they didn't dare to speak, and their two pairs of eyes stared at Lin Zhang's in unison, hoping that she would refuse, even if it was to plead for mercy.

Who knew that the faces of the Lin Zhang family, the Li family, and the Lu family were all ecstatic, and they said vigorously: "It's all up to the housekeeper." ”

The iron butler smiled slightly, and said, "Then that's it, tiger head and leopard eyes, take them to the farm." The aunt of the Lin family went to the warehouse with me to get grain. ”

Dog days are the time of the wheat harvest. In the endless field, the men are in full swing. They all flew with scythes, and after the silver light, the yellow wheat fell down in unison. Every time a piece is put down, the wheat harvester picks up a few wheat stalks and twists them into a strand, bundles the cut wheat into a wheat bundle, and places them neatly on the wheat stubble. Later, they were stacked up and stacked in the shape of towers.

Men sweat like rain, and women don't shy away from suspicion at this time. The eldest girl, the little daughter-in-law and even the half-aged twisted their graceful waists one by one to deliver water and food, and they were very busy. A few of the older and tougher ones were still squatting on the ground, sharpening their scythes fiercely. After sharpening, I tried the blade on my hand, and from time to time I said a few words to the man that were not salty or light. Everyone who could hear it burst out laughing.

Farmers sweat and laugh in the wheat fields. The birds were also busy flying down from the treetops to peck a little, especially the sparrows, which flew in flocks, sometimes flying and sometimes falling.

At this time, people are benevolent and just wave their hands from time to time to drive them away.

On the field path, Yan Wuwu Jin Xiaoguang walked side by side in plain clothes, clothes, socks, shoes and hats were spotless, compared with the busy and messy farmers, like a fairy descending to earth.

The big treasure thief followed behind with very ugly eyes, and a pair of small eyes looked left and right. He looked at the apricot tree that was staring at the ground, picked up a few stones, and ran forward to pick them up. Break the ripe apricots in half and throw them into your mouth if there are no insects. If it tastes good, it will be very dog-legged and stepped forward with both hands to Yan Wuwu Jin Xiaoguang to serve.

If it doesn't taste good, throw it away.

Shumo is not as tasteless as him, he is climbing the apricot tree on the side of the road in the field of Yanfu not far away, picking yellow and red apricots. It's elegantly packed in a bag around my waist.

Yan Wuwu ate the apricots offered by Dabao in his mouth, looked at the wheat field with a smile, pointed to a large piece and said, "I just came back from the farm, and the wheat is being harvested just like here." It is estimated that Xinmai will enter the warehouse after half a month. Xiaoguang, do you want to accompany me to the countryside to have a look? ”

The pastoral farm is the two major crop fields of the Yan family, bounded by ravines. On the one hand, it is in the form of a farm, and the people of Yanfu are matched into husband and wife, dragging the family to grow at home, and receiving monthly rations according to the number of people. Basically, each family is responsible for more than ten or twenty acres, and there is a special person in charge. The pastoral land is in charge of the strong single people, and the farm is busy with some short-term work, and the pastoral land is vast and fertile, and the labor force is strong, which is the base for grain production.

The fields are a little lower, and the wheat ripens a few days later than on the farm.

Jin Xiaoguang smiled slightly and said, "Worry-free has really grown up and knows the housekeeper." It seems that you, the head of the Yan Mansion, are also doing a good job. This year's harvest is definitely better than last year's. It's okay to accompany you to the farm, but I want to go and see the vegetables we grow first, after so long, I should be able to eat them. ”

Jin Xiaoguang spoke in a very human tone, he had always regarded himself as a big man in front of Yan Wuwu, a bit of an elder. In fact, he is only one year older than Yan Wuwu.

Yan Wuwu enjoyed Jin Xiaoguang's adult posture very much, and basically obeyed his words. He said, "That's what I mean, so let's go to the vegetable garden." If you can eat, you can eat lunch there. ”

These days, he misses the gold and silver noodles and a few cold dishes he ate in the vegetable garden last time.

Jin Xiaoguang said: "It just so happens that I have a jade pendant given by Mingzhu here, and it is said that it is for Zhu'er." ”

After he finished speaking, Lin Zhu sang a little song that day, Sima Mingzhu asked him to give a reward, but he forgot about it, and Lin Zhu told Shumo about asking for a tael of silver.

Yan Wuwu had just left for a while that day, and he didn't know about these things, and he didn't have time to talk about them.

After listening to him, Dabao snatched a tael of silver from the Lin brothers in the back, Lin Zhu invited Lin Yunlin Duo to eat and was chased again, as a result, the Lin brothers were taken to the countryside to do short-term work, and Lin Yunlin Duo said again about helping to weed, remove insects and water in the vegetable garden.

After finishing it, he said: "The villain originally thought that Lin Zhang's family would cry and shout, but he didn't expect a large family to smile." After receiving the grain, he even steamed a pot of steamed buns, and killed a hen that he had never been willing to eat, as if he was celebrating the New Year. ”

After speaking, he shook his head extremely funny and said that he really didn't know what the Lin family's mother-in-law thought.

Yan Wuwu didn't know these two things yet, so he laughed out loud. Lian Sheng said: "Zhu'er is a good idea, our farm is the most short of people at this time, this is called waste utilization." ”

Dabao hurriedly followed: "It's not just good for us, then the Lin family's mother-in-law is happy, Aunt Lin is happy, and Aunt Lin is even happier." As soon as they were happy, they stopped looking for her mother's stubble. Lin Zhu's family is also safe. These days, Zhu Erhuan runs after butterflies all day long. ”

Hearing that Lin Zhu was so happy and running after the butterfly, Jin Xiaoguang remembered the first time he saw Lin Zhu, quiet and transparent like a butterfly standing still.

He also laughed and said, "It's good, I didn't expect this maid to think of these things at a young age." ”

said this in his mouth, but there was a burst of joy in his heart, and it seemed that his judgment was correct.

There are indeed masters who secretly protect this small county lord of the former dynasty, and they are by his side. As long as you supervise well, there will always be clues. When the time comes, I am not afraid that the treasure will be hidden underground.

A few people walked along the field path and slowly came to the gate of the vegetable garden.

Before I could enter the door, I heard the sound of a yellow dog. (To be continued......)
