Chapter 86: Help each other
Xiao Jiading also heard it, this song actually expresses the meaning of Aimu wanting to be good with each other. He also knew that the love of the mountain song was just talking, and he didn't really mean that to himself. When he heard that he was going to sing it himself, he said, "This, I won't." ”
Lu Xiangzheng flattered: "I heard that Xiao Jiading met friends with poetry, and even the first talent in Yizhou was defeated, and he could become a poem in seven steps, Yizhou City has long been spread, can the song still stump Xiao Zhiyi?" ”
Xie Cunzheng also said: "Yes, this song was sung to you by Miss Yunyan, you have to reply by yourself, and Nenzhu can't help." ”
Nenzhu also said: "Yes, Xiao Ye, my sister asked you if you have any affection for her, and you can do whatever you want in your heart." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Jiading's heart moved, and he remembered the famous poem "Bamboo Branch Words" by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi, and without thinking too much, he opened his mouth and sang:
Yangliu Qingqing River level,
Hear my sister singing on the river.
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west,
The Tao is sunny and sunny.
He just changed the word "Lang" to the word sister, this bamboo branch word was originally a folk song tune in Shu, which was written by Liu Yuxi when he was a thorn in Shu, simulating the tone and style of local love songs, which is not obviously different from mountain songs, and it is easy to understand. The tune of the mountain song is basically fixed, relatively simple, Xiao Jiading has listened to it just now, although he sang it with some yellow tones, but with the help of the tender bamboo on the side, he still sang it. Especially the last sentence that has been passed down through the ages, "The Tao is sunny and sunny", a homophonic pun, just copes with the love silk thrown by the other party.
As a result, the audience applauded. That Yunyan couldn't imagine that Xiao Jiading would sing such a wonderful song. couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and even forgot to return the song. Nenzhu immediately grinned. He brought a large bowl of wine and said, "Hee-hee, sister." You can't answer! Drink! ”
Yun Yan simply took it and drank it dry.
Nenzhu said again: "Did you hear that?" Xiao Ye said, saying that Xiao Ye has no affection for you, but he is affectionate! Hee-hee-hee-hee! ”
Yun Yan blushed suddenly, and didn't care about anything else, so she chased after Nenzhu: "You dead girl!" Nenzhu smiled and ran, these village girls were already young and ignorant, and they drank again, especially Xiao Jiading was amiable. also sang mountain songs with them, and put aside the previous fear and shyness, and also made trouble in front of Xiao Jiading.
Xie Cun was busy shouting loudly, but Xiao Jiading smiled and waved his hand and said that he didn't have to.
Seeing Xiao Jiading so kind, Yun Yan became bold, came over and took Xiao Jiading's hand and said, "Come!" Let's get up and dance! ”
Dance? Xiao Jiading was stunned for a moment, three steps or four steps? I don't think it's right, where were these modern dances in ancient times? He got up and followed, and Nenzhu took his other hand. The other girls also held hands and formed a circle and began to sing and dance. Xiao Jiading immediately understood that this was similar to the modern kind of bonfire dance, and the dance movements were relatively fixed. It takes a lot of time to learn.
Dancing and frolicking with this group of beautiful and moving girls, Xiao Jiading is very novel, and he dances very energetically. It was noisy until late at night. This is the end of the banquet.
Lu Xiangzheng whispered to Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Zhiyi, Xie Cunzheng said." Let Yun Yan and Nenzhu serve you tonight, okay? Both of them are yellow flower girls! ”
Xiao Jiading immediately knew that this Xie Village was the same as the one in Huangyan Village. must have made a lot of money with the families of these girls to help him buy other people's youth, and quickly shook his head and said, "No need!" He saw two pretty girls looking at him expectantly, and thought that the two girls were very good, and happened to be the people beside him, so he said, "I am building a house, and there is a shortage of nannies to take care of the housework, if they want to, they can come to my place to do things." ”
"...... babysitter?"
This word is too modern, and Lu Xiangzheng naturally doesn't know the way.
Xiao Jiading was also drunk, blurted out, then patted his head, and said: "It's to help me take care of the house, but it's not a maidservant, they come and go freely, and they are willing to do things with me, with a monthly salary of 1,000 wen per month, including food and lodging." The job is cleaning, laundry and cooking, just take care of me! But it's not that kind of care! Just take care of my life......"
Xiao Jiading said this, also because he has confidence, although he doesn't have much money now, but the shops on the street are being repaired, and the peppers are ready to be planted immediately, plus the money earned by selling materials on the rocky mountains and Huangpo on both sides of the Jinjiang flood control embankment, these three are all big money. The first two, although the benefits are not visible at once, but the latter one, as soon as April arrives, the project starts, and you can make money immediately! According to the plan, the house will not be completed until June, so he is not worried about not having the money to pay the salaries of the two nannies. Xiao Jiading's consciously prescribing conditions are attractive. You must know that the county clerks of the Tang Dynasty at that time were only six or seven hundred wen a month, how could these village girls have so much money in the mountain villages? I can't make it in a year.
Lu Xiangzheng and Xie Cunzheng haven't figured out what kind of person Xiao Jiading's nanny is, and after listening to Xiao Jiading's explanation over and over again for a long time, they understood what it meant.
Xie Cun was busy saying: "It turns out that there is a shortage of maids in the clothes, that's easy to do, I'll just give a few of them to the clothes." ”
Xiao Jiading was slightly stunned: "You send me?" Who are they......? ”
"They're the little guys." Xie Cunzheng said with a smile.
Hearing her say this, Xiao Jiading immediately understood. The untouchables of the Tang Dynasty were divided into two kinds, the lowest one was the slave and the maid, between the good people and the slave and the maid, called the ministry, from the legal level: "The ministry, which is privately owned." That is to say, in general, the tribe is the private property of the master, just like the slave and the maid, but the slave and the maid have more freedom and higher status, and can have their own private property, mainly to cultivate the fields for the master. The master can transfer all his parts to someone else, or he can let them go. This requires the head of the family to issue a written contract and report it to the yamen for the record.
And the so-called guest girl is the daughter of the trilogy. In other words, the girls Nenzhu and Yunyan are actually the daughters of the tribe owned by the Xie Cun family, and of course he has the right to dispose of them.
Xiao Jiading patted his head and said, "I see." ”
Xie Cun Zheng immediately said: "Mingren, the villain will send the contract between them and a few of them to the mansion of the clothes, do you think it's okay?" ”
Xiao Jiading shook his head and said, "I don't want so much for the time being." ”
"Then let Yun Yan and Nenzhu come over to serve you for the time being?"
Xiao Jiading thought about it, no one cleaned the place where he lived now, so it was time to find a nanny. Then he said, "Okay, how much does it cost?" ”
"No, no! Don't want money, clothes, the villain can honor you, that's the blessing of the villain. ”
"If you don't want money, then I don't want it!"
Xiao Jiading turned around and wanted to go out. Xie Cunzheng hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Okay, since you want to give money to the clothes, that's good, then follow one and two, okay?" - The market price is this price, I don't dare to deceive you. You can ask tomorrow, if I say low, I'm a bastard! ”
If a reluctant person next to him listened, he would definitely be inexplicable,—— people were afraid that the buyer would think the price was too high, so he swore that this Xie Cunzheng was afraid that Xiao Jiading would think that the price was low. Because of the previous purchase of stone mountains and barren slopes, Xiao Jiading didn't want to be greedy for their cheapness, if he deliberately said less, he knew the way, but he was afraid that it would be extraordinary, but it would not be good. So it is emphasized that the truth is being told.
Lu Xiangzheng on the side also said that he was not lying.
Two yuan is equivalent to 10,000 yuan, and it is suitable to buy two maids at this price. Xiao Jiading nodded: "Okay!" Send them tomorrow and I'll give you the money. ”
"What a shame!" Xie Cunzheng hurriedly agreed and looked at Lu Xiangzheng.
Lu Xiangzheng immediately understood, and said to Xiao Jiading: "There is a small matter, discuss it with Zhiyi." ”
Of course, Xiao Jiading knew that they would not engage in this for no reason, so he looked at him and did not speak.
Lu Xiang was saying to Yun Yan and them: "You go down first!" ”
The women hurriedly walked out of the hatch, and the scribe Lu also followed. Xie Cunzheng also walked to the hatch and stood.
Lu Xiangzheng lowered his voice at this time, and said to Xiao Jiading with a cautious smile: "Liu Xiangzheng of Wutai Township was arrested, and there will be no Xiangzheng." This Xie Cun is an upright person, he has been a village leader for many years, and he wants to be this village leader. Zhilu Dao, you are a big celebrity in front of Kang County, can you help say a word? He's still quite sensible. I have prepared a box of copper coins underneath, and I will put it in the carriage for you later. The money for buying two guest girls will be deducted from it when the time comes. Do you think it's okay? ”
Xiao Jiading stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then beckoned Xie Cunzheng at the door to come over, and said in a low voice: "I hope you two will remember what I said!" ”
The two quickly nodded.
Xiao Jiading said: "First, don't send me money, whether it was before, now, or in the future, don't do it!" Do you understand? ”
The two didn't know what Xiao Jiading meant, and looked at each other in fear, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
Xiao Jiading looked at Xie Cunzheng, and then said: "Second, I can help you talk about this matter, but I'm just a dressmaker, and my words don't count, so I can't guarantee that it won't work......"
"We know this......" Xie Cun was busy.
Xiao Jiading slapped him on the shoulder with the strength of the wine, and said loudly: "Shut up!" When I'm talking, I'm not allowed to interject! ”
Xie Cunzheng hurriedly nodded, not daring to say another word.
Xiao Jiading said: "That's good! I'll help you talk about it, and you help me buy the rocky mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the Jinjiang River in your lot. - The stone mountains and barren slopes are not yours, and it may not be counted if you say it, so who is the head of the township, I don't count if I say it, but it will be counted if the county order of Dekang County says it. Therefore, these two things are not positions, we can only help each other, plan things in people, and make things happen! As for the money for the two little girls, it must be given! - Promise, just do it, don't agree, just if I didn't say anything tonight!! Haven't been here either! (To be continued......)
