The little girl who was called Xiang'er by Li Yun had a melon seed face, far-reaching eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and clear lip lines, looking heroic.

The manservant named Li Er has a public face, he holds a fishing rod and a can of bait in his hand, listening to Li Yun's words, he can't help but look at Xiang'er and smile bitterly, he doesn't even have a fishing rod, Miss Fei, are you fishing with your tongue?

The two of them didn't say anything, Li Er put the fishing rod and bait on the ground, walked over and lifted the fishing basket, and praised: "This fish is about ten catties, it is a rare big fish, Miss is really amazing." ”

Li Yun raised his head, threw the braid in his hand back, and said proudly: "That's nature." ”

The little maid Xiang'er saw that Li Yun's trousers were stained with some mud, so she squatted down and dusted it off, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Li Yun's forehead, and said: "Miss, since you have caught a fish, let's go back, when the master comes back and finds that you have sneaked out, I am afraid that I will be angry again." ”

Li Yun waved his hand and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, my father won't scold me." ”

Next to him, Li Er and Xiang'er looked bitter, and said in their hearts: The master spoils you so much, so he naturally scolds us.

Wang Lin listened to Li Yun say that the big fish was caught by her, and he was quite angry in his heart, so he couldn't help jumping out and shouting: "It's obviously a fish I caught, and I kindly gave it to you, how can you catch it, it's really unreasonable." ”

Even if Zhao Yan was sleepy, the few people next to him were talking so loudly, naturally he couldn't sleep, and when he heard that Wang Lin was going to argue with the little girl of the Li family, he was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Senior brother, I just saw something moving on the shore over there, it seems to be a turtle or Wang Ba or something, let's go over and take a look." ”

Wang Lin's attention was immediately diverted, he covered his eyes and looked, but he didn't see anything, just as the color of 'that thing' was similar to the surroundings, but he didn't suspect that Zhao Yan was lying to him.

"Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar." Li Yun couldn't help but whisper a word of contempt when she heard Zhao Yan call the soft-shelled turtle as Wang Ba, but her curiosity was also aroused by Zhao Yan, and she shook her two pigtails and followed her.

Seeing the little tail following behind him, Zhao Yan secretly smiled bitterly, but when he didn't see it, after arriving at the place, he casually said a few words like looking dazzled, and then hid alone under the weeping willow tree more than ten steps away and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and decided to let them quarrel, anyway, Wang Lin was tall and strong, and he was lost a few words by the little girl at most, and he couldn't suffer a big loss.

I didn't know what the little girl didn't know what to think, but she still followed her.

After circling the weeping willow a few times, seeing Zhao Yan looking like he was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, ignoring it, Li Yun couldn't help but say, "Hey, Tubaozi, do you have any other songs?" The two tigers you taught last time were a bit interesting, but they were just two sentences over and over again, which was too short. ”

After a while, seeing Zhao Yan closed her eyes and didn't speak, the little girl was angry, stomped her feet hatefully, and was about to go up to pinch Zhao Yan's ears, when she finally said, "First of all...... I don't call it Hey, I don't call it Tubaozi, my surname is Zhao Mingyan, you can call me...... Uh, call me Brother Zhao; Secondly...... Even if I know other songs, why should I teach you? Are you my sister, or my aunt? ”

"You ......" How can anyone talk to Li Yun in this tone on weekdays, at this time, Zhao Yan was so polite as soon as he opened his mouth, but he stopped the little girl a little, but there is a saying, it is called the nature of the country is easy to change, and the dog can't change it to eat.

"Li Er......" The little girl shouted at the top of her voice, and after Li Er ran over, she saw Li Yun pointing at Zhao Yan, and snorted angrily: "Throw this dirt bun into the water for me to feed the fish." ”

Li Er was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Li Yun in embarrassment, and said, "Miss, this is not appropriate." The master said that our Li family is a family of poetry, and the Li family is not allowed to cause trouble outside. ”

Li Yun squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Er, suddenly pouted, made a pitiful look, and said: "This dirt bun bullies others, Li Er, you can help others teach him a lesson, okay, if you don't help, I may let my father spank your ass when I go back." ”

Li Er looked at his young lady with a smile and a smile, for Li Yun's eccentricity and arrogance, he, a family member who often guards around, naturally knows a lot, but Li Yingqiu specially told him that it is okay for the young lady to be playful, but she can't condone her to ruin the reputation of the Li family outside, so Li Er is unmoved.

After a stalemate for a long time, the little girl was young and not strong in principle, seeing that Li Er was disobedient, if it was by herself and the maid Xiang'er, she would not be able to clean up the dirt bun, so she wiped her nose and stomped her feet, and complained with a crying voice: "Okay, okay, you know how to bully others." Who's that, Zhao 'fierce', how can you teach me a new ballad? ”

Zhao Yan naturally couldn't hear which 'brother' the little girl was calling, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, his sleepiness was gone, at this time he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the little girl, he stood up and stretched his waist, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said: "If you want to teach you, it's Brother Wang over there, I'm Brother Zhao, and when you see us in the future, if you can call it that, I'll teach you, how?" ”

"I agreed. You are Zhao Zhuang, he is the king Fierce, so what song does Zhao Fierce want to teach me? Li Yun looked at Zhao Yan slyly, secretly complacent about his intelligence.

Zhao Yanhui doesn't have many songs, and there are only two songs that can remember the lyrics clearly at this time, and he glanced at the blue pond when he heard the words, and said: "I'll teach you a song "Catching Loaches", listen to it......"

The pond is full of water, the rain has stopped, the thin mud at the edge of the field is full of loaches, every day I am waiting for you, waiting for you to catch loaches, Xiao Xiang'er is good, let's catch loaches......

Although Li Yun is young, she has already been coaxed by Li Yingqiu to read a lot of books, and her belly is slightly splendid, and the lyrics should have been 'Big brother is good, let's catch loaches', she didn't sing big brother, so she changed it to Xiao Xianger, and it was quite smooth to sing.

After sending the little girl away, Zhao Yan really couldn't bear the hot weather, so he called Wang Lin to go back.

How do you know that the little girl is still not satisfied, she thinks that Zhao Yan should have some 'dry goods', her smart eyes rolled, and then said: "This weather is so hot, do you want to drink some ice water to cool down?" I have ice cubes frozen in clear water last winter in my ice cellar, and if you teach me another nursery rhyme, I'll give you a big piece of ice. ”

Where is Zhao Yan so many nursery rhymes to teach, he lived in the countryside with his grandfather when he was a child, and he only knew how to run and play all day long, so he didn't have the heart to learn any nursery rhymes.

But when it comes to ice cubes, Zhao Yan's expression moved, he once saw an ancient ice-making method on the Internet, this ice-making method is simple and easy, and the raw materials needed should not be difficult to find, and they should be available in pharmacies.

"Hehe, is it only your house that has ice? I have it at home. Zhao Yan said a word, picked up Wang Lin and hurriedly walked towards the town.

Wang Lin thought that Zhao Yan wanted to go to his house to borrow ice, so he didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Senior brother, my father and my eldest brother went to the capital last winter, and Steward Wang was very busy, and he didn't have time to take care of the affairs at home, so he didn't save the ice." ”

Li Yun heard Wang Lin's loud voice, and said triumphantly: "Does Zhao Ji want to conjure ice out of thin air?" ”

"That's right, brother, I just want to conjure ice out of thin air." Zhao Yan was repeatedly teased by this little girl, and the clay figure still had three points of earthiness, so he couldn't help but be a little frivolous at this opening.

Before Li Yun could speak, Li Er, the family next to him, spoke first: "This little brother is self-respecting in his words. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his words were indeed a bit frivolous and debauched in this era, not to mention that Li Yun was still a young lady, and he was not a person who wanted to save face, so he bowed his head and said: "Fang Cai's words are inconsiderate, please forgive me." ”

Li Yun didn't care, she was just curious about how Zhao Yan conjured ice out of thin air, and guessed in her heart that this Zhao Yan would be able to do tricks? If so, can he bring back to life the little flower dog who fell into the hut and drowned a few days ago? I don't know why the little flower dog ran to the thatched house, it's really stupid.

Seeing Zhao Yan and Wang Lin walking farther and farther away, Li Yun pursed his lips and said, "Li Er, I'm going to see the trick." ”

"This ......" Li Er had some impressions of Wang Lin, knowing that this was the second son of the Wang family in Jiuzhou Town, Nanzhuang and Jiuzhou Town were less than ten miles apart, and it would not take half an hour to walk, and it seemed that it was nothing to see.

Li Er nodded, bowed down and said, "Little one carries you, let's come back after reading it, otherwise the master will know that he should be worried." ”

For the three tails behind him, Zhao Yan has already seen it, but if you want to watch it, it's not something that can't be publicized anyway. Saltpeter ice has been made since the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to lose it in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is learned.

There is a pharmacy in the town of Jiuzhou, which was opened by the famous doctor Dr. Qian. Zhao Yan led Wang Lin into the shop and asked the pharmacist behind the counter, "Excuse me, do you have saltpeter in your shop?" ”

The pharmacist was in his thirties, with two mustaches on his lips, and when he heard this, he glanced at the two of them and said, "How many do you want?" A few days ago, the shopkeeper had just bought a batch of high-grade saltpeter from a merchant from Hanzhong, Shaanxi, because it was mined from the mine, it was much more expensive than the saltpeter made by the soil method. ”

Now Zhao Yan's father and son are also considered to have little wealth, and Zhao Xin has no restraint on Zhao Yan, and the scattered silver is hidden in the hall, and Zhao Yan will go straight to get it when he wants to use it. Usually, just in case, Zhao Yan would carry two or three taels of broken silver and copper coins in his arms, just in case.

Zhao Yan was noncommittal, looked at the furnishings in the pharmacy, and then asked, "How to sell it?" ”
