In July, the fire flowed, and in August, Jin Sheng had gone to the capital for more than February. When he left Jinxian, it was still a hot and dry summer, and now it has ushered in the early autumn season of orange, yellow and orange.

Occasionally, when she had nothing to do, Yun'er would sit in front of the West Corner Gate and look into the distance, hoping that her Jin brother would appear in front of her in the next moment.

Thoughts become sick, and thoughts are like a tide.

Yun'er didn't dare to show her heart in front of Feng Ran, after all, it was Jin Sheng's obligation to do things for the master's family. But how could Feng Ran not know? She couldn't help but ask Sui Yu, where can Sui Yu say accurately? He, like them, was waiting for Jin Sheng's return.

The fruit trees ripen some time earlier than the rice, the peaches are large and red, and the plums and grapes are red and purple, and they are ripe to the fullest. This time, it was no longer pushed by Feng Dye, and everyone rushed to eat it.

It's so sweet!

"Is it delicious?" Feng Ran asked Sui Qi with a smile, and he still had a few grape grains in his hand.

"Delicious, delicious." Sui Qi chewed on the peach in his mouth and replied vaguely.

Old man Li has no front teeth, and he usually has to pick soft food, but at the moment he is gnawing on the plum in his hand with relish. The expression on his face was naïve, and he was teased by Lao Tian Lao Wei and others from time to time.

Everyone ate and picked, and most of the days have been harvested.

Feng Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down under a tree to rest, and Old Man Li and Shui Sheng also sat down.

"It's still the lady who has the foresight, if we hadn't planted these fruit trees in the first place, we would have to wait a little longer before we can harvest them." Shui Sheng's eyes glanced into the distance, counting how many baskets of fruit everyone had picked.

"Don't flatter me, I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse." Feng Ran raised his cheeks and smiled, "Old man Li, after picking so many fruits today, let's go to the market tomorrow to sell them." ”

"The little one was trying to tell Madame about it." Old man Li had something to say, and he felt a little hesitant.

"You're afraid of what happened last time, aren't you?"

Old man Li smiled innocently, which was regarded as admitting.

"I'll go with you tomorrow."

"What? How can this be? Before Old Man Li could react, Shui Sheng had already jumped up and objected, "How can this kind of thing make Madame show up?" ”

"Who knows me?" Feng Ran clenched his fists and pounded his tired calves, and said with a smile: "Yun'er and I are going, there are many people to do things." Don't those landlords just want money? Let's give it, don't break their rules. ”

"But ......"

"That's it! We can't eat these fruits, and we planted them to sell them for money first. You don't want to eat meat, do you? How long has it been since you had alcohol? ”

"Sell the fruit first and then give money, I don't know if they can agree." Old man Li expressed his concern, "Those people are ruthless and only recognize money. ”

"What's the use of worrying? This step has to be taken. Haven't we worked so hard for so long for this day? You have worked in the Hou Mansion for so long, and you don't want to be paid? Are you here to do good deeds? ”

Old man Li and Shui Sheng were amused by Feng Ran, and Lao Tian and Lao Wei all came over when they heard the sound.

"You're here just in time, let's all go to the market tomorrow." Feng Ran hooked his finger at Sui Qi, "Daqi, are you afraid?" ”

Sui Qi rubbed into Feng Ran's arms, shook his head like a little adult, and said, "Don't be afraid, I can protect my mother." ”

Shui Sheng rubbed Sui Qi's little head and said sarcastically: "As for your little arms and legs, eat more meat to make up for it." ”

Sui Yu was very excited at first when he saw the baskets of fruits that everyone had moved back to the courtyard, but as soon as he heard about their plans for tomorrow, he lost his temper. said that he refused to let Feng Ran go, and when he saw that he couldn't pull Feng Ran and turned his head to pull Sui Qi, he would say that it was not good for the woman to show his face, and then he would say that the child was too young in case he was bullied by outsiders.

Feng Ran raised his hand and taught everyone not to ignore Sui Yu's "biting" here, and to retreat and rest first. Could she not know what he was up to? Isn't it because I want to leave him alone tomorrow and don't take him out with me?

"You don't mess around here, it's you who said that even if your legs and feet are good, you can't let outsiders know." Feng Ran glanced at him, "Besides, what can you do even if you go?" The foal asked Jin Sheng to ride one horse, and now there is only one left, and the thief is still disobedient. ”

At the mention of this, Feng Ran shivered unnaturally, and the pain of letting the foal flip off the car was still fresh in her memory.

"A cart has to carry fruit, and Daqi and I only need to walk on the ground on our legs. If you go along, you'll have to carry half of the cart, are you embarrassed? ”

Sui Yu understood it, and slowly stood up with one hand supporting the red sandalwood case, and straightened his waist after standing firm with the strength of support.

Feng Ran was used to talking to him with a slight lower brow, and sometimes he was half-squatting next to a wheelchair, tilting his head slightly to look at him. He suddenly stood so straight in front of him, which startled Feng Ran.

"Oh my god! You, why are you so tall? Eight feet more than nine feet? ”

Sui Yu hadn't stood at this height for too long, and he had always bent his legs and bent over for so long, making Feng Ran's "ridicule" comparable to Old Man Li, and when he could really stand upright, he was really a little unaccustomed to it.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at Feng Ran, who was staring at him with his neck up, and couldn't help but smile. He had always thought that she was tall, at least in his heart she was a tough girl. And now he knew that she was so petite, that in time he could even lift her up with one arm.

"Speaking of which, Madame just thinks I'm in the way, useless, and a waste." He stroked the desk and slowly approached her, "But I'm worried about you, I was there the last time I sold fish." ”

Feng Ran shook his neck, feeling very tired to look up at him, "There's nothing to worry about, I'm the master of the Hou Mansion, can I have a bottom in my heart if I don't go to them?" It's good to say that you have money on you, but how many copper plates can you take out at home now? ”

"It's me who is incompetent." Sui Yu took responsibility, "I didn't think it through at the beginning. ”

"No one blames you?"

"Wait for Jin Sheng to come back......"

"Don't keep counting on Jin Sheng!" Feng Ran suddenly raised his hand and slapped the back of his hand, "It is best if Jin Sheng can bring back good news. That's a lot of fun, but now we have to make money, right? On our own. ”

Feng Ran shocked him again, he felt that she was the snail girl sent to him by God!

"Don't think too well of me." Feng Ran couldn't stand his affectionate eyes, "I'm just fed up with poverty." I have to buy new clothes, buy meat for Daqi, and save for Yun'er's dowry, am I easy? You hurry up and exercise, and when your legs and feet are healed, go to work in the fields like everyone else. ”

Sui Yu was dumbfounded by her for a moment, and felt that no matter what he said, he seemed pale and powerless.

The next day, Feng Ran left Sui Yu alone in the mansion, and she herself followed everyone to the county. Sui Yu was unwilling, what if his leg wasn't broken? But he could only watch as everyone left.

Before leaving, he called Shui Sheng to him and advised: "If you are in danger, you must protect the safety of your wife and Daqi." ”

Shui Sheng frequently praised and comforted: "Master Hou, you are not such a chattering character. ”

Sui Yu didn't refute him, but felt that what Shui Sheng said was very right, because he had someone in his heart who was concerned, and he was no longer as worryless as he used to be.

This feeling is amazing, he liked Cao Jingshu very much when he was young, and felt that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her smile is intoxicating and fascinating. I have had a lot of dreams about her, but I never dared to blaspheme her.

He always felt that he shouldn't move that thought, but if he did, he wouldn't be able to live with Emperor Yuanjing. This is also part of the reason why he became more and more loyal to Emperor Yuan Jing in the later period.

It is strange to say that since he left the capital and went to Mozhou, Cao Jingshu has never appeared in his dreams. So much so that when I saw her occasionally in the later period, I always felt a strange sense of alienation.

After hearing that Cao Jingshu followed Emperor Yuanjing to hang himself, it was more of a choke but not a heartache.

Feng Ran is different, this woman appears alive in her own life. He can see her all the time, get along with her, and feel the impact she brings to him. He rarely dreamed of her because she was right next to him. He didn't want to look at her from afar, but especially wanted to have her and fill her like a green drag.

Feng Ran and his party did not go to the vegetable market where fish were sold last time, but went directly to the big market on the border. The population is more mobile here, and the factions of the inner sprites are more nuanced.

Old man Li and his wife began to be stunned as soon as they walked around here, and Sui Qi also quietly held Feng Ran's hand.

Feng Ran lowered his head and asked softly, "Daqi, have you been bullied by many people begging here before?" ”

Sui Qi nodded, and said aggrievedly: "There are three sects and nine streams here, and the officers and soldiers are too lazy to take care of it if it is not a big matter." Over time, some people in the bazaar spontaneously took up to manage their daily lives, and slowly everyone was willing to mix here, and it became more and more chaotic. ”

"Then don't go inside." Feng Ran stopped and turned his head to command everyone, "Let's put the stall farther out, if we are picked up by others, we can still walk smoothly." ”

"Ma'am, we haven't gone in yet." Yun'er pretended to be calm, "If we can sell it for money, it's not that we won't give it to them." ”

"Then let's find a place with fewer people." Feng Ran pointed ahead, "Look at the scales and weights in their hands, our eyes are black." ”

"That's right." Yun'er scratched the back of her head, "Let's just fool around." ”

"It's better to say that no one buys it if it's expensive." Feng Ran laughed helplessly, "If it is sold cheaply and robs other people's business, we don't know how many people will be beaten." ”

"That's easy to say." Shui Sheng helped the old guard carry a few baskets of fruits off the cart, and smiled at Feng Ran: "Madam, don't worry, the little ones will go to the market to investigate, we are not short of this time." ”

"Nacheng, I'll go with you." Feng Ran volunteered, and took Sui Qi again, "Take my son, let's play a family of three." ”

"Madame, don't be a little one. If Hou Ye knew about this, he would have to pick up the small skin. Shui Sheng said shyly, and had already received the Sui weapon in one hand, "Come on, I'll take you in for a walk first." ”

"I'll go in with the aquatic creatures, and you'll stay here. If you encounter unreasonable people, listen to them first, and let them do what they want. It's not a shame to bow your head at this time, do you hear? ”

Old man Li grinned and said with no front teeth: "Madame, don't worry." ”

Feng Ran was still not at ease, feeling that Yun'er was thin and small, and she was a little timid and cowardly when she left her, and it was easy to be targeted when she stood there. picked up a handful of soil with his bare hands and rubbed it in his hands, and wiped it on Yun'er's face without saying anything.

"I regret bringing you out." Feng Ran said bitterly, "My Yun'er is so good-looking!" ”

"Madam~" Yun'er lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

It's also a coincidence that the book is not written, Feng Ran and their front feet just left, and the old man Yun'er Li ran into trouble here.
