Hu Qingyun's face turned red, and he glanced at Xiao Cui, who had shrunk into a ball in disgust. Call the servants outside to come in: "The cheap hoof of the evil lord, you take her there immediately, and find someone to sell it clean!"

The servant answered, and when he came in, he stuffed something into Xiao Cui's mouth. Then, like a chicken, he took the struggling Xiaocui away without much effort. Hu Qingqing was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"You, go back to the house, you are not allowed to step out of the backyard for half a step for three months, if I find out that you dare to disobey, I will temporarily send you to your hometown to accompany your mother to eat fasting Buddha!"

Hu Qingqing's face turned blue with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Brother, please don't send me away, I don't want to go back to my hometown, don't go to my mother's, I can't eat or dress well in the poor ravine, and there are no people around, I'll go back to the house to reflect on it, and I won't go anywhere ......."

Hu Qingyun closed his eyes tiredly, waved his hand at Hu Qingqing, and turned his back.

After Hu Qingqing left crying, Hu Qingyun opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to the hall behind him with heavy steps.

There, a man was standing there with his hands behind his back, his eyes falling on a painting of bamboo leaves hanging on the wall, and he was fascinated by it.

The black robe dyed with ink, the placket and cuffs of twisted gold wire, the figure is slender and straight, and the whole body exudes a noble momentum. The eyebrows are slightly raised rebelliously, the cold phoenix eyes, the straight nose bridge, the straight lips, handsome and handsome.

"Ah Rui, you have a lot of adults, read it on your cousin's old face, and forgive Qingqing again, okay?" Hu Qingyun put down his seniority and figure, and flattered the young man in front of him.

Feng Rui withdrew his gaze from the painting, looked at Hu Qingyun with an indifferent expression, and locked his cold gaze on Hu Qingyun with a flattering smile in front of him.

His eyes were cold and sharp, and the anger in his eyes was undisguised, and Hu Qingyun was nailed to the spot at once.

"I'm thinking, if you can't even discipline your own sister, such a small thing will always spoil my mood. Then I need to think about whether I need to find another good assistant!" Feng Rui said coldly.

"It's all my cousin's fault, Qingqing, I'll send her away tomorrow, and don't let her provoke your friends and make you unhappy!" Hu Qingyun hurriedly apologized.

Feng Rui sneered: "How to control it, that's your family matter, I'm not interested." I just want you to know that there is no room for stupidity around me! ”

"Yes, yes, I remember, I will do a good job to help you achieve great things!"

Feng Rui's eyebrows furrowed, and he grabbed Hu Qingyun's collar, and the cruelty in his eyes made Hu Qingyun's breath almost suffocate.

"By the way, I warn you again, don't rely on you and I as cousins, you can act willfully, you should understand, if it wasn't for those stupid things done by your stupid and selfish Hu family, I wouldn't have fallen into this step, just you and me here, you still dare to call yourself cousin? Aren't you afraid that I can't help but pinch you to death? He said in a deep voice, Hu Qingyun's face was bloodless, Feng Rui suddenly let go of his fingers, only to hear a bang, Hu Qingyun was thrown a few steps away, and his falling body smashed the fine pear blossom wood chair.

Planting tea trees can't be delayed, but Bai Jiaojiao can't let go of the herbs all over the mountains, but there are so many people, and if you can take care of this end, you can't take care of that end.

"I want to ask someone to go to the mountains to pick herbs." Bai Jiaojiao said.

Tang looked at Dong Mingxuan.

"How please? Who please? Dong Mingxuan asked.

Bai Jiaojiao sorted out the thoughts in her heart and said: "Picking herbs is not a hard work, women can also do it, the sister-in-law of the Dalin family, Holly can do it." ”

If the eldest aunt of the Lizheng family allows it, it is also possible, but her physique is too poor, and she is not tired of picking herbs, but walking all over the mountains is tiring work.

"There is no problem with the candidates, but how are you going to calculate the salary?" Dong Mingxuan asked.

Bai Jiaojiao put down the brush in her hand and looked at Dong Mingxuan, "Five cents a day, what does Dad think?" ”

"It's a lot of money." Tang looked up at Dong Mingxuan and said, "Dalin works for that iron shop for a short time in the county, and his salary is only seven cents of silver a year. ”

"Mother, you can't compare it like this." Bai Jiaojiao said: "Brother Da Lin will have work all year round, and we will be busy for a while, and besides, the mountain is not safe, and the high point is normal." ”

Tang nodded, indicating that she understood.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Dong Mingxuan and asked, "Dad, what do you say?" ”

Although Bai Jiaojiao made a decision, she still had to listen to Dong Mingxuan's meaning, after all, he was the head of the family.

"So be it." Dong Mingxuan said, "Go back and let your mother go and talk to them." ”

Bai Jiaojiao said "um" and went back to her own business.

Tang Shi saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but ask curiously: "I've seen you write and draw when you're okay these days, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao took out a piece of traced hemp paper and handed it over.

"It's ......"

What Tang held in his hand was a picture of a peach tree, although it was only a few strokes of Liao Liao, but it rendered a strong sense of spring, and he didn't ask where it came from.

"Mother, it's nothing, I'm playing with it." Bai Jiaojiao said. Tang Shi couldn't say a word for a long time with the painting in his hand, and asked for a long time: "Yiyi, although you were good at painting in the past, you were not so good." I still thought that after being out of the world for so long, you were afraid that your skills would be rusty, but I didn't expect ......"

Unexpectedly, instead of being rusty, it was better than before!

Bai Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed, after all, this picture was also painted by herself for a long time, and it was intended to be given to the one on the mountain.

Now this painting is also painted using modern sketching techniques to look better than ordinary ink paintings.

Bai Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Didn't you keep telling me to keep a low profile before?" I'll listen to you, just make a quarter of a difference in everything! ”

In other words, Bai Jiaojiao had been hiding in the Gu family for a few years before! Thinking of Bai Manshuang, who was mediocre in appearance and sloppy, but because she was the daughter of Dafang, she was regarded as the pearl of the palm by Old Lady Bai and Xiao Zhou. In the future, I may not be able to talk about what a prominent family affair will be! And Bai Jiaojiao, who has a good character and appearance, is living in this poor countryside, and no matter how well she marries in the future, she is just a rural village woman.

Tang's heart was as uncomfortable as being stabbed by a knife.

Bai Jiaojiao didn't know that Tang was thinking so far, "Mother likes it very much?" Then I'll draw a few for you another day. ”

Tang lowered his eyelids, his gaze swept over the painting in his hand, and his mouth seemed to have swallowed a few catties of yellow lotus, so bitter that he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Tang didn't say anything, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but raise her head and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

When I looked up, I found that Tang's eyes were red, and a pair of delicate eyes were wrapped in a cloud, looking at her guiltily and sadly.

All right. I made Tang blame himself again.

The corner of Bai Jiaojiao's eyes quickly glanced at Dong Mingxuan on the side, and Dong Mingxuan's gaze stopped on Tang's body. Secretly a little obedient to herself, she may have to delay Bai Jiaojiao.

"Oh, mother, are you crying with joy? Think your daughter is too good? Bai Jiaojiao asked pretending to be puzzled.

Tang Shi obviously realized his gaffe, and immediately raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said, "Of course I'm happy, your painting is not much worse than those young ladies from big families." ”

Bai Jiaojiao smiled and didn't answer Tang's words.

Tang turned back to Dong Mingxuan and said, "While it's still dark, I'll go to Lizheng's house and tell her about going up the mountain to pick herbs." "I'll go with you, it's dark outside." Dong Mingxuan said.

Tang waved her hand, she just wanted to find a place to calm down, where would she agree to Dong Mingxuan's companionship.

Dong Mingxuan still needs to insist, after all, the Tang family is now pregnant, but Bai Jiaojiao said at this time: "Dad, don't go, I want to calculate the income of the family with you these few times, and see how much silver we have in our hands." ”

Dong Mingxuan was still hesitating, but Tang had already walked out. Tang slowly walked on the bluestone path, although the hour was not too late, but in order to save tung oil, most of the people in the village had gone to bed early. The remaining dim lights are scattered around the village, adding a little peace and tranquility to the village.

It was not a long road, but it took Tang a full quarter of an hour to get there.

After hearing her intentions, Dalin's daughter-in-law's face instantly bloomed with ecstasy, but the next moment, she said: "Forget the salary, anyway, I'm idle at home......"

"Yiyi said, it's a tiring job." Tang interrupted Dalin's daughter-in-law and said, "You can't be told to work hard in vain, and you don't have much money." ”

Dalin's daughter-in-law originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought that she was in charge, she accepted the money. Think of it as a favor.

The two talked a few more gossip, and Tang thought about leaving Lizheng's house to go home, but Dong Mingxuan's voice sounded outside the door, "Dalin, is your aunt at your house?" ”

"Uncle Dong is here to pick you up." Dalin's daughter-in-law said to Tang, got up and opened the door after the words fell, "Uncle, are you here to pick up your aunt?" ”

"Well, it's hard to walk in the dark, I haven't come back for so long, I'll come and take a look." Dong Mingxuan said.

Tang Shi walked out and said unhappily: "If you don't worry, just take a trip with Qingfeng, why do you still have to go by yourself, your body is not good yet." ”

"It's fine, just a few steps." Saying that, Dong Mingxuan stepped forward and took Tang's hand, "It's all right?" Okay, let's go back. ”

The two of them quit their home and walked back side by side.

Early in the morning of the second day, Da Lin's sister-in-law came to Bai Jiaojiao's house with Holly, and Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng packed up and went up the mountain with the older family.

Bai Jiaojiao was looking forward to seeing Li Jingcheng in her heart, but with so many people, she was afraid that others would see him.

When they arrived at the mountain, Bai Jiaojiao said, "Let's look for it separately, don't get too far away." ”

"Brother, go pick medicine, I'll take care of myself." Bai Jiaojiao said.

Qingfeng said yes, and immediately beckoned everyone to leave and went to the mountains to collect medicine.

They have always been centered on the canyon and scattered medicine in four directions, but because the mountains are high and the forests are dense, everyone does not dare to disperse too much, so that the medicine near the canyon has been almost collected, and new medicine collection points need to be developed.

Looking for a medicine field is fake, her purpose is to go to the waterfall to see if she can find Li Jingcheng.

Seeing Qingfeng and a few people walking in the direction of the canyon, Bai Jiaojiao walked towards the cliff that pierced through the clouds and fog like a dragon's head.

The towering branches of the ancient tree were as leafy as the top of the thick shade, Li Jingcheng caressed Xiaoqing, and frowned lightly at Bai Jiaojiao, who was walking on a long and straight fallen log, and was frequently whipped on the face by two branches.

Where is she going?

Are you here to find yourself?

Just when Li Jingcheng was groaning, he saw Bai Jiaojiao, who was trying to climb a gravel mountain, slip under his feet, and the whole person fell heavily behind him.

Worst!

Bai Jiaojiao subconsciously stepped forward. I saw Bai Jiaojiao borrowing the strength of her hand and standing again.

Bai Jiaojiao sighed lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Jiaojiao's blood-drenched hands.

There was a hot pain in her hand, and Bai Jiaojiao's face showed a look of pain, "I'm scared to death." It hurts. ”

At the moment of falling, Bai Jiaojiao subconsciously reached out to climb, and her palm was scratched by a broken heart.

Li Jingcheng flew down quickly and stood next to Bai Jiaojiao, Bai Jiaojiao looked at him fixedly, and asked, "You're not injured, are you?" ”

Li Jingcheng couldn't help frowning slightly, "How could I get hurt for no reason?" ”
