The night breeze was cold, Cai Xiao knelt in front of the tomb, straightened his waist, under the faint light of the brazier, the slightly green cheeks were clearly defined, the hair swayed slightly, and the flames in his eyes were constantly burning.

Liu Zheng sat in front of the grave, behind him on the right side is the tombstone with Liu Shi's name written on it, on the left is the grave pit dug for him by everyone in the afternoon, and there are scattered tree shadows in the distance.

His feet were curled up, his hands were casually on his knees, but his gaze was fixed, his lips were constantly open, and then his legs leaned forward, and he wanted to kneel down with the hem of his somewhat thick robe, but as if he had thought of something, he looked at the woman by the brazier, and sat back hesitantly.

The lips are really not thick, the eyebrows are really not thick, and the mole on the left side of the chin is really light......

After a little froze of thoughts, Cai Xiao's eyes recovered, and he noticed that the other party's movements were a little strange, as if he had the intention of having a formal conversation, but he wanted to put up a fight...... After all, she is a woman, and for the other party, she may also feel that she is too formal and takes herself too seriously, or does she want to get off the horse and say that the owner of the farm is him after all, so that the unidentified self and the two brothers can share some of it?

After all, this action seemed deliberate, she guessed all kinds of possibilities, and felt that this discovery made her seem to be more mature, so she lowered her head and pursed her lips to hold back a smile, "The two brothers in the family are busy with affairs and can't come in time. The concubines were brave, so they made amends for them. He will be able to take care of some of the things on the farm, and I will bring a group of family members to officially meet the owner. ”

"Hmmm......"

The reply was short and absent-minded, Cai Xiao frowned slightly and glanced at it, his gaze went straight to the side, and then dodged and turned to the side, adding in a cramped tone: "Okay...... It's okay. Work matters. ”

"Thank you to the owner Haihan ......"

When the cold wind blew, it was a little cold, and Cai Xiao's eyes were a little cold, and he was a little angry.

Just guessed, in the end, it has been revealed that the other party is contrary to the person who put forward the concept of equality between men and women in the memory of the past, and at this time, the frivolity of the strange woman is still in front of the tomb of the elders, which is even more inconsistent.

She pursed her lips and didn't speak, bowing her head and waiting for Liu Zheng to speak, but then waited for a long silence.

Of course, Liu Zheng didn't want to speak, he only felt that this scene was really absurd and ridiculous at this time.

He looked at Cai Xiao's face, looked at the clean eyebrows slightly tensed and tightened, thought for a long time, and finally laughed "hehe, hahaha......".

"Why is the owner laughing?"

Cai Xiao could feel that the other party's gaze was fixed on his face for a moment in the silence just now, and his tone became even colder at this time.

"Hah...... cough, I set an example in the laughing clan and an important minister in the court, but I taught two stupid children. ”

Cai Xiao's expression was stunned in vain, and his heart beat faster.

"Lu Zide thought that he knew Yuzhou dialect, yes, I don't know much, but there are three words I know." Miss Xun'...... Gongda didn't say less. ”

Liu Zheng grabbed a handful of grass stalks and put them into the brazier, full of smiles, his eyes were slightly misty, "During that time, we went around and around from Wancheng to Yuzhou, and I was in a very bad mood. The three lieutenant generals are simply unreasonable, they killed people and slaughtered the city, but the families of some dignitaries and nobles stayed. Those who should be killed are not killed, and those who should not be killed are dead...... What Guo Changshi, General He, and a large number of family members and clansmen of the gentry, I think damn it basically stayed. Gongda saw that I was in a bad mood, and thought that I should be a little interested in women, and he also learned badly during that time...... Oh, he left him some dignity because he was worried about me and wanted to make me happy, and then he gestured to Fang Xue in Yuzhou dialect, 'Miss Xun, Liu has come to see you'...... Are you stupid or not? ”

Cai Xiao was speechless.

"So when I read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and get trapped in a birdcage, I always feel that I am rich and rich...... Do you think he's stupid or not? ”

looked at Cai Xiao, there was a flame burning in his eyes, but his face slowly calmed down, "What else did he say about the rare opportunity, thinking that when I saw you, I would be misled to Xiang Farm...... I have heard a lot of Yuzhou dialect, but in fact, there are some accent problems, and it is not so difficult to hear. Zhang Xianling, right? If you get too close to me, he wants me to go farther away from Zhang Xianling and lead people with ulterior motives to stand in line...... But he called my lord, don't discuss this matter with me, come by yourself, do you think he is stupid or not? ”

“……”

"I can't wait to slap him a few times to sober him up, don't play so much, what if you are slaughtered by my people? And he did it as if he were the smartest...... But I actually have the means to know if everyone has ulterior motives for me. It's just that I'm not in the mood to do it now, and I have rules to follow, so I only knocked on those three once. After that, as long as I went to the farm, there was basically nothing to do...... Don't kneel, you and I are free. ”

Cai Xiao came back to her senses, only to realize that she had been staring at Liu for a while, and hurriedly lowered her head, as if she was too close to the brazier, her face was hot, she bit her lip and said, "Concubine, concubine body dare not make a mistake." ”

"Shoji?"

Liu Zheng glanced at the tombstone, raised his hand and touched the cold inscription on it, "I've been making it to my father for a long time...... I just didn't expect it...... Lu Zide made even more mistakes, and even thought of occupying my future wife's room, whether it was a fake or a fake. ”

"East, East, please be cautious."

"It's okay, I said it, you've heard it. There are no outsiders, just talk freely. You just misunderstood me, and I will be on it. ”

Cai Xiao bit his lip hard, and Liu Zheng smiled slightly: "You too." Do you really think it's been a year? For me, it's been four or five months, and I still think about that voice once in a while, and it definitely doesn't feel right when I hear your voice. Since you have learned and benefited from those methods, you can't guess that I have other means? I have some doubts, just take a look. Ha, and then there was no doubt, just looking at your physiognomy, I was thinking, should I be more formal, but then I found that I felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal...... At least, not as urgent and childish as it used to be. ”

Phase ...... It's still a consistent neologism.

Cai Xiao thought.

Liu Zheng looked up at the galaxy above his head, "And, you want to hide, in fact, I also want to hide you." Hiding and tucking, there are three years of peace and security, it is a good thing for you and me, there is no need to be threatened and persecuted, and there is no need to let the relationship be too tormented...... It's just that you're stupid here. You don't know how much better you are than Lu Zide, listen to him at this time...... Why don't you plan a better way to meet yourself? So that I won't find any flaws, at this moment, you tell me to pretend to be ...... Do you know? Coincidentally, I remembered the tragedy in Lousang Village again, and there was no one to speak, and you appeared. I'm sorry for this coincidence......"

Cai Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes were slightly red, "If the owner has anything to say, the concubine and concubine are honored." ”

Liu also thanked Miss Cai for her appointment. Ha, get down to business. There is a girl in the village that I grew up watching, Lousang Village, and as soon as I came back, I found that she hated me. But I can't make up my mind to kill her...... You don't know, from Wancheng to here, there are about more than 30 assassinations along the way, rough and gentle...... When I came home in a hurry, sometimes I also wished that anyone who hated me would be cut to the roots. ”

Liu Zheng patted the soil around him, Cai Xiao hesitated for a moment, then sat down, and felt a faint sigh of relief when he noticed the rather natural atmosphere at this time......

"There are two brothers surnamed Wen in Nanyang, his younger brother has recognized me as the lord, his brother went out that day to come to me, was retaliated against, and almost died. It is said that the assassin I was looking for by my grudge surnamed Chen, and he wanted to vent his anger and couldn't find me, so he went over there, and by the way, he also knocked the father of the two brothers and the others. This matter has been inquired into...... Well, you shouldn't know that he sent someone to follow the troops to find me directly. After that, the son surnamed Chen was also very good......"

Liu Zheng shook his head, "No, it's his father who has thought about it, and when he saw Xianhe sending someone to Nieyang, he fled directly." Xianhe couldn't find anyone over there, and Zhang Mancheng's people in Niyang didn't cooperate. I don't know when this pair of fathers and sons and other people's troubles will break out again in the future, so I think that whatever I encounter in the future will never be troubled, but I can't be ruthless about a girl's family. ”

He smiled bitterly: "I don't seem to be able to do anything when I tell you." Now that it's been decided, let's not talk about this. And every time I talk to you, I say something bad, and it seems that I can't grow up...... Let me guess, I remember that one of your two brothers is called Cai Nu, and the other is Cai Yu, and the word is ......."

"The word comes towards. The gentleman came to the court, and He Xiyu gave it. ”

"Oh, that's crazy!"

Cai Xiao hesitated for a moment, and smiled with some relief: "Yes, Wang Zuozhi is talented......

Liu Zheng didn't pause, and complained in an easy-going tone: "Tsk, I told me to guess, why are you so boring." ”

"Guess what. Our family is full of capable people, if the concubine really wants to deceive you, do you think you can find out? You're going to be a scoundrel when the time comes, in that way of seeing through me...... If there is one. Isn't that boring? ”

Cai Xiao straightened her skirt, pillowed her head on her knees, hugged her legs and looked at the brazier, and said with a light smile: "Big brother is more downset...... Yes, he's the big brother to all of us. Angry but not snatching, you don't know, he is very powerful, he never forgets, and he can remember everything. But I don't really want to do anything. Brother Lai Chao admires the ability and temperament of the eldest brother the most. It's just that this time, the favored concubines only account for a small part, and they think that Yuzhou is not a good place after all, and they want to pick a place for the clansmen to avoid. Not...... Youzhou is actually not very satisfied. However, it seems that Jizhou will not be good in the past two years. Relatively speaking, it is better to control the plague in Youzhou...... Zhuo County is even better. ”

"Well, I understand. I'm here, and I'm going to make it better. ”

Liu Zheng nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said teasingly: "However, your name ...... Oh no, changed it, right? Criticism. It's not like this to pretend to be a businessman, and I feel so embarrassed. Let people know ...... future."

“…… Garrulous. ”

"Haha...... When do you seem to have heard these two words? Oh, that painting, has it ever been painted again? ”

"Nope. If you don't want to paint, you can only live real. Moreover, the concubine found out, in fact, it's okay not to paint. I thought about it, and I didn't like the guy who appeared there. was confused by him, and he still had a little simple worship, and he was so abrupt at the beginning, and the concubine also accepted his fate...... Well, it's like ordinary people's pursuit of some talented and beautiful people, who doesn't have such a time...... It's silly to think about yourself. After coming here, I got busy, but I felt that it was not necessarily bad to be so stupid at that time. It's nice to be simple. But ah, the owner...... Your two poems are not good, and the concubine doesn't like them. ”

"Is there one? I think it's good, I have everything...... But I'm actually quite simple, I just want you to know that there is such a person, and at the same time show that I am a little more talented. ”

"And then stand on the cusp? After all, I was impulsive...... Although Daddy agrees, he will scold in his heart. He is the most courteous, and this compromise may not have other meanings......"

"It's okay, I agreed anyway, no matter the process, no matter his mood. Moreover, young and frivolous...... You also said that simplicity is a good thing, and I like that time now. ”

Liu Zheng sighed, and Cai Xiao also sighed: "It's only been about five months...... I don't know if you're priding yourself to be old, or if you're really old......"

There was silence in the peach orchard.

It didn't take long for Liu Zheng to pat his ass and stand up, Cai Xiao also stood up, the two walked around the Taoyuan, looking at the past and talking about the past one by one, occasionally Liu Zheng talked about the situation, such as Zhou Yu, such as Huo Nu, most of the time, it was Cai Xiao who was talking.

She really knows the details of these people, and she is also involved in matters related to the care of family members.

After the two finished speaking, they knelt down and bowed, walked to another grave and introduced the resume of the deceased, and then knelt down and bowed, went around and returned to Liu Shi's grave, and bowed again. Some were sent back to their hometowns for burial, some were a little crazy and couldn't stay, and they didn't know where to go before they died, and some ......"

Liu Zheng looked at the girl's side face, the fluff was fine under the firelight, and the outline was exquisite, "I can't find it back, I may have fed wild dogs and beasts, or been eaten...... And some of them, just set on fire? ”

"It seems that the owner has been through a lot...... Yes, both. No matter whether it is a good person or a bad person, it is difficult to have a good end...... It's miserable. ”

His face was slightly cold, and then he laughed, Cai Xiao looked at the new pit, "This matter is rumored in the farm, saying that as soon as the owner came, he dug a pit for himself, and swore to rush to the front, and praised the owner for being good to his subordinates." The owner is winning people's hearts. ”

"In addition to wanting to do something to show determination, I do have such thoughts......"

Liu Zheng jumped down from the pit and said with a smile: "Isn't it a bit big?" ”

Cai Xiao blinked, "Accompany the funeral, the concubine knows...... It could be bigger. ”

"No, I can't. This is still dug for Xiaoxue Xiaolang, first Xiaoxue, then Xiaolang, the two children cried for a long time, I could only dig silently, and I had to fill it back in the future...... Having said that, Qiu Yi also has the same meaning as you, I think there is any need. You think that I will be lonely in the future, so you must have this system, or do you really want to follow me...... But I don't want to do that, it's too cruel. You can do a lot of things well in life, especially those who are capable. ”

Liu Zheng pointed to the right side and smiled lightly, Cai Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "The owner is too selfish...... Always so self-righteous. What about the equality that is good? At the very least, it may be a comfort to some people in some cases. ”

"That's different."

Liu Zheng shook his head, Ke Hai in the distance suddenly shouted and asked if it was okay, Liu Zheng looked over, saw a few people waiting outside with torches, jumped out of the pit and knelt in front of Cai Xiao, stared at the other party's face, and said with a smile: "I admit that I am a little selfish in this regard." Anyway, I don't like tragedy now...... In other words, you are only sixteen, and in the world I said, you are still a simple age. Looking at you like this, combined with the rumors about you that others say, it always feels a little incredible...... Psychologically mature. ”

"After three years, it will be simple again."

Cai Xiao brushed his ears and temples a little surprised, and his face was playful, "It's time for the concubine to go." Rise up, proprietor. If you can't afford it, I can't get up. ”

"Choi said that when the time comes, you will be busy, and she will do something she likes. I don't think you two can really stop. ”

Liu Zheng stood up, thought about it, and hesitated: "Don't go?" Help me watch Lingxi? ”

"Selfish...... Don't proprietors feel wasted? The concubine is talented, and the appearance association thinks you are not good-looking, so I am afraid that I will get tired of it, so I won't stay. ”

Cai Xiao shook his head with a smile and faced out of the Taoyuan, "Send me?" ”

"Angry. I do not send it. ”

Liu Zheng shook his head decisively, "Are you still in the farm these days?" Do you want to take a break? ”

"It's been rested. Well, this time, I'm going to ......."

Seeing that Liu Zheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked outside the Taoyuan, Cai Xiao couldn't help but smile, "Help you teach Lu Shangshu's children." Don't worry, I won't admit that kind of statement. He threatened me with the identity of Zhang Xianling this time...... I'm going to teach him to be a new man when I go back. ”

"No, let your brother teach him. You have a good rest and don't get too tired. By the way, I have a list on hand, and you can help me take over. ”

Liu Zheng handed over the square handkerchief, "I will let Ke Hai and Zhu Ming ......"

"Call them rulers, and don't call them by their names. Although you don't mind yourself, outsiders will think about it, and when the time comes, the wind will blow in your ears...... Hee-hee. ”

Cai Xiao took it, spread it out, and put it away again, "I probably know what it's for." ”

"It's good to know. I'll let the two commanders take care of you, and you can worry about these things for the next three years. I'll go over and get some good things when I get back. ”

Liu Zheng paused and said with a smile: "I have also heard some things in the past few months. Tell your second brother, isn't the Yuan family of Runan the reputation that the late Yuan Yu made in order to make the Yuan family a foreign aid, even if your second brother is related to Tang Heng, the Yuan family may not be suitable for him in the future. If you want to choose me, at least don't waste time, and when the time comes, you may have to ruin the future of the rest of the family. ”

“…… Are you an unpredictable prophet in these words, or are you retreating as advances, so that the concubine does not think that you have another purpose? ”

Cai Xiao smiled.

"Haha, I don't want to guess about you, so you don't want to come to this set. Although it is true that life is a bit boring and monotonous for smart people, it also depends on the relationship, right? I just figured it out, the more I wanted, the deeper the pain...... Wancheng, I have time to tell you the beginning and the end. It's just that he is a talented king, don't choose the Yuan family, it's a waste. Cao Mengde is actually quite good, but ...... I'd rather he come with you. I can take care of them and I want to take care of them. It's the truth. After all, they're helping me now. If I really want to leave, I can't bear it. ”

"The concubine will be brought, but it will have to wait for the day when they want to restore the surname in front of you, and it will be settled. It's not easy to force a concubine, so it's respectful. ”

Cai Xiao glanced at Liu Shi's tombstone, pursed his lips, and suddenly said, "Really don't send it?" ”

Liu Zheng shook his head with a smile, "I often come when I have time, I won't send it." I still want to hide you. ”

"Not coming."

Cai Xiao pursed his lips, then blinked and smiled: "If the concubine doesn't come, the two brothers can come often." The water flows for a long time. ”

"Okay...... Oh, you haven't promised me yet, don't touch Zide, I'm not worried about him, he's young, it's hard to say that he won't have thoughts about you. ”

"Ridiculous, owner. He has a heart, can the concubine still have an intention? ”

Cai Xiao glanced at the past, a little charming, "Besides, in two years, he will be weak at best, and I will be twenty years old...... And what about five or ten years from now? I'm forty, he's thirty? Poof, when you think about it, you seem to be too. ”

Cai Xiao smiled brightly, and Liu Zheng smiled, "It's okay." Maybe one day I'll go in again. And there are other sisters with you, so I'm better suitable. ”

"The concubine thinks so too."

Cai Xiao nodded, looking down at the tip of his shoe, "It's really gone." ”

"Go ahead...... Really not coming? Three years? ”

"Nope. You are three years and you are a concubine for six years. Only then will they be able to keep up. The concubine believes that you will like the housekeeper who lives in the backyard sisters. ”

Liu Zheng cried and laughed: "Childish! What can I compare to them, I can't compare to you. ”

"It's hard to say. Your female apprentice, the palace is half painted, it's amazing...... Maybe I've seen Diao Chan. Leave these trends to the owner to find out for himself. Hee-hee, apprentice...... The proprietor is not honest......"

Cai Xiao turned around, "Let's go." You can come to see the concubine when you have time, and walking around also makes it seem that you are not so cold to our family. But...... The concubine is not here, and she doesn't want to settle anymore. ”

"Affirmation of past connections."

Liu Zheng bowed his head, "That...... Miss Cai walked slowly. ”

"Hmm."

Bow your head and step forward.

The cool breeze blows on the face, and the heart is hot.

After all, it's still exposed......

I didn't expect to be discovered when I opened my mouth.

Hmm, remember the sound...... It's really only been half a year, but how can you remember? Oh, it's been a man all the way. No, there is a woman raised by an official family, Gongda's education is bad, and he won't be ......

What do you think......

Walking outside the peach orchard, Cai Xiao greeted people with a smile all the way, those who didn't know him, greeted him with a smile, and when he looked at Geng Qiuyi, he didn't even have the avoidance and discomfort he had been before.

Now her state of mind is generally a little relieved, she realized, smiled and greeted the past, then walked into the carriage, knocked Lu Jian's head, and straightened her face, "It's not big." Is there anything you can't discuss with your sister? It has to be so noisy...... Commander Ke, wait......"

Turning her head and glancing, she found that Ke Hai didn't get into the car, she noticed through the curtain that the scene that everyone was looking at was a little frozen, only to find that the greetings just now seemed to be too natural, revealing some hostess's posture, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Ke, Commander Ke, send me and Zhang Gongzi back." Old lady, lady, concubine retirement......"

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Geng Qiuyi looked at his raised hand, which was held by the other party when he came to greet him, and that posture was as if he was a guest......

She turned her head to look at the peach orchard, listened to the carriage starting, and the unwilling complaint of a young man, and then heard Li sigh with emotion: "This girl is the Cai family in the farm?" I'm so young, but that posture is really as rumored, quite cultivated, and a little imposing. ”

"Xiaoxue will do the same in the future. Long sleeves are good at dancing, and more money is good. ”

"It's going to be...... Mother, I'll wait. ”

Geng Qiuyi pulled Fang Xue over, hugged Li over, turned his head and glanced at the direction where the carriage left, and saw that Liu Zheng greeted him with a smile, obviously in a much better mood, so he also smiled and asked a few words about what the two were talking about.

"Talk about the future...... Farmstead, at night. ”

These words made Fang Xue of the Li family unclear, but Geng Qiuyi's body was shocked, and he smiled with a complicated smile: "Miss Cai...... It's amazing. ”

……

In the next few days, the five families were still busy running around for their respective reputations, pestering Zhang Ke.

In the farm, Li Cheng was busy with all kinds of things, and he had to deal with the dissatisfaction and grievances of the Bao, Cai, and Yan families, and he was all kinds of anxious.

Cai Er Gongzi is still so calm and a little bored, but occasionally he will be nervous, after all, his eldest brother has not come back for several days, or because he asked Yang Feng about Zhang Mancheng here, and even asked Yang Feng to go around to publicize the matter of rewarding Zhang Mancheng's head, which made him feel somewhat worried.

Of course, he occasionally wondered about his little sister, what did the little sister talk about with the owner that night, he couldn't ask the result, in fact, he also went to see the owner that night, the other party didn't seem to show any enthusiasm, it should be that he didn't know their identity...... But it is a fact that there is an extra nephew of Zhang County Order and many guards, although the child covers his face, but occasionally he is very aggrieved by the little sister's eyebrows, and he doesn't look like he really burned his body and has a withdrawn personality...... Is this a buzz for the owner? Whose idea was it? Is the owner really smart?

Now the little sister's ability even if he is serious, maybe it is a little difficult to deal with, looking at the other party is in a good mood, getting along well with his sister-in-law's family and his wife and children, and there is no grievance, he can't figure out who planned the things that day a few times, so he put it down, he is still busy and bored every day, occasionally going out to breathe the wind, thinking about things secretly vigilant some guards, subordinates, and then a little distressed about Lian Gongzi in the private school opposite the ridge.

Since the little sister didn't appear again, the other party was probably looking at this side a little distracted when he was free, and even he was a little embarrassed and wanted to comfort the other party...... Tsk, what an infatuated man.

As October passed, the weather was getting colder and colder.

Outcasts, bandits, courts, plagues...... All kinds of news are still transmitted in an orderly manner on both sides of the farm and Zhangjiazhuang in the cold winter, or in all directions.

Then on the second day of the first day of November, some news was brought from Luoyang, whether it was people or news, it shook the entire Zhuoxian County.
