Chapter 158: Concubine

"What's going on ahead, go take a look" Qi Ye frowned, wanting to go in and take a closer look.

Han Feng arched his hand: "Childe, there are many people in front of you, so it's better to find someone to ask about the situation first." ”

Qi Ye's footsteps paused: "It's okay." ”

Li Yue, the servant of the ministry, stepped forward with great eyes and invited an old man to come over.

This old man was obviously also in the center of the dispute, and he didn't want to come over, so Li Yue directly gave the silver before pulling the person over.

When the old man got the silver, he naturally smiled and bowed to everyone: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"What are so many people doing in the field up ahead?" Qi Ye asked, "Why are you fighting?" ”

The old man laughed, and then explained: "The land in front is from the Yin Dong family of the Cyclamen Building, do you know the Cyclamen Building?" ”

"Know", Chu Meiren took the lead and glanced at Yin Lingyuan, "It is said that the mountain spring is watered, the falling Ying is fat, and the girls are used for picking, is it that the Yin Dong family is bullying people and offending the villagers?" ”

"How can it!" The old man shook his head disapprovingly, "Those rumors are all nonsense from outsiders, let's put aside a piece of land, but I haven't seen any Luo Ying or any girl, but the seeds of the Yin Dong family are good, so the vegetables grown are particularly delicious." ”

Yin Lingyuan secretly patted his chest, knowing that the second brother couldn't do such a heartless thing.

I only heard the old man say again: "It's not a fight in front, Yin Dong's family is good, the villagers saw that the vegetables in his field grew well and tasted good, so they begged him to leave some vegetable seeds for us, no, today's big guys are dividing vegetable seeds, but we are not like scholars, soft-spoken, the villagers are loud, you look like a quarrel, in fact, they are all good." ”

Chu Meiren stopped talking, and Qi Ye asked, "Is the planting base of the Cyclamen Building the front?" ”

"That's big", the old man said, thinking about the heavy piece of silver he had gotten: "If you want to see it, the old man will take you around?" ”

"Then it will be annoying to the old man." Qi Ye said very politely.

"No trouble, no trouble", the old man led the way, walking and saying, "There are often nobles in the city who eat the cyclamen building, but also curious to take a look at Yin Dong's field, and the neighbors and towns can get some benefits by taking people to see it, Yin Dongjia is generous, let us take people to see, as long as it does not harm his vegetable field." ”

"Listening to you say that, that Yin Dongjia is a very good person." Qi Ye said deliberately.

"That's right, who of us doesn't say he's good." The old man said proudly. In the crowd passing by the dispute, he didn't forget to howl: "Dog Wang'er, be careful about our vegetable seeds, you can't miss it!" I took the nobles to see the fields. ”

There was also a response from the crowd: "I know Dad, you can go with confidence!" ”

said that it was to see the planting base of the cyclamen building, but in fact, Qi Ye was more to observe the people around him.

Looking at their rough clothes, they are all neat and have few patches, and you can see that the people here are living well. In the end, it is Gyeonggi, and the people live a prosperous life.

Qi Ye asked many locals about the situation again, the old man was very talkative, and learned from his mouth that many people here are tenants of Mr. Qian's family, Mr. Qian is a local squire, and most of the land here is his, and the old man's family has planted the land for Mr. Qian for more than ten years, and Mr. Qian is not like other landlords, he will not increase the rent at will, and in bad years, he also takes the initiative to let the rent.

"In the snow disaster that year, Master Qian took out his family's grain to give to the people affected by the disaster, saving many lives, and even Lord Zhizhou praised him as a good person."

Qi Ye looked at the situation of the tenants around him, and he could probably guess that this old man Qian was not a bad person.

The old man took them around a lot of places, seeing that it was not early, Qi Ye thought about spending a night in the countryside, and just opened his mouth to ask which one could be convenient, the old man immediately said: "It's better to go to Mr. Qian's house, the house is big, and Mr. Qian is hospitable." ”

Qi Ye thought about it, so he asked the old man to help introduce him.

The old man walked with everyone for a while, the surrounding fields gradually decreased, and the number of people gradually increased, and there was an open flat land not far away, where there was a large mansion that was obviously superior to the surrounding farmers, presumably it was Mr. Qian's house.

The old man stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the porter obviously recognized him, and it was not the first time for such a guest to stay overnight, so after a few simple conversations, he let everyone in.

A few people were invited into the side hall, the old man said goodbye and left, everyone waited for a while, only a person dressed as a housekeeper hurriedly came, saw them arched his hand first: "A few people have been waiting for a long time, our lord has something to do today, I really can't take a break, the guest room has been arranged, a few can go to rest first, and the meal will be delivered to your room later." ”

Li Yue motioned to Yin Lingyuan and Chu Meiren, and said to the old housekeeper: "These two are female dependents, and in order to facilitate walking, they deliberately pretend to be men, please ask the old man to arrange them alone." ”

The old housekeeper was in a hurry, so he didn't take a closer look, and now he could see that the two of them were dressed as men, and said busily: "That's natural." ”

As he spoke, he called a mother-in-law and took Yin Lingkite and the two of them down to settle down.

It wasn't until the next morning that everyone saw the main master, and Master Qian was fighting hard to entertain everyone, but he still couldn't hide his haggard face.

"What happened to Master Qian?" Qi Ye asked, "If there is any disturbance, we will leave today." ”

"Family troubles." Master Qian beat his spirit, "You don't have to mind, it's that the old man is not well entertained." ”

The other party had no intention of mentioning it, so Qi Ye didn't ask deeply, and instead talked about the customs and customs of this place.

On the other side, Yin Lingyuan and Chu Meiren were directly taken to the backyard for placement, Yin Lingyuan couldn't sleep outside, woke up early in the morning, went for a walk in the yard, and saw a mother-in-law leading an old man with a white beard to come in from the corner door, the old man was carrying a medicine box, presumably a doctor.

She didn't care, and after a while the old man came out, shaking his head as he walked, and shouting, "Do evil, do evil." ”

Could it be that someone in the house is seriously ill?

Yin Lingyuan was curious, released her divine sense, and her five senses were magnified several times, and she vaguely heard a woman's cry, she concentrated, and the cry gradually became clear, occasionally mixed with scolding.

"That brute! Not people! The girl I grew up in the palm of my hand called him such a wretch, brute! ”

"Mother...... Mother...... Woohoo......"

"How can we live as a mother and son...... Your father said, this time he will come again, he will settle accounts with him, Liuniang, don't cry. ”

"Mother, I'm ......" The woman who was called Liuniang wanted to say something, but Yin Lingyuan behind didn't hear it, because a mother-in-law's voice interjected, saying that Madame was invited over.

Yin Lingyuan listened to these ears, and heard that it was a mother and daughter hugging and crying, it seemed that someone had bullied their daughter, she shook her head, walked back, and saw that there was already a little girl waiting at the door, and when she saw her, she said Mrs. Please go to breakfast.

Yin Lingyuan followed her and was led to a hall, where a table was set up for breakfast, porridge and side dishes, the variety was not small, Chu Meiren was already sitting next to her, and when she saw Yin Lingyuan, she smiled and said, "Where did my sister go?" I didn't see anyone in the morning. ”

"Wake up early and take a walk in the yard." Yin Lingyuan didn't care.

Chu Meiren smiled, as if kindly reminded: "Let's be a guest at someone's house, it's better not to walk around, so as not to collide with the master's house." ”

Since riding a horse, Chu Meiren thought that she was slightly better in front of Qi Ye, and she didn't speak as respectfully as before.

Yin Lingyuan didn't say anything, but Mrs. Qian on the throne spoke: "It's okay, this girl should also be seated." ”

Yin Lingyuan greeted her in a friendly manner, and walked to the other side to sit down.

This Mrs. Qian had a kind face, and politely invited the two of them to eat during the banquet, Yin Lingyuan heard that she was the one who cried with her daughter just now, and if you look closely, you can see that there are traces of crying in the eye circles.

"I just accidentally saw that Lang Zhong was invited by Fuzhong", Yin Lingyuan asked tentatively, "But someone is sick?" If you don't dislike it, we will be accompanied by a doctor with excellent medical skills......"

"Thank you, Miss Yin", Mrs. Qian refused without waiting for her to finish, "It's not a serious illness, I've already seen Langzhong." ”

Yin Lingyuan didn't say anything more.

After breakfast, the two of them went to the front to meet Qi Ye, Qi Ye meant that he would go to the surrounding villages and towns today, because Master Qian said that he could let them rest assured that they could spend the night, and everyone planned to go out in the morning and come back in the evening.

Ask the two of them what they mean, if you feel tired, you can stay in the house to rest.

Chu Meiren naturally wanted to follow Qi Ye, and she gritted her teeth and endured it when she was tired, but Yin Lingyuan had other plans, so she said that she was a little tired and would not follow today.

Qi Ye didn't force her, left the guards to protect her in secret, and went out with the rest of the people.

Yin Lingyuan plans to go to the second brother's planting base to help the newly planted vegetables and vegetables water some spiritual spring water, it is rare for him to be here, so he naturally seizes the opportunity to water more if he can.

She changed into men's clothes, found the field of the second brother yesterday, the people who were making a noise to divide the seeds had dispersed, and at this moment there were several people working in the field, Yin Lingyuan took the initiative to step forward and expressed her willingness to help with watering, and thanked them for giving away vegetable seeds yesterday.

At first, those people were still a little skeptical, after all, how could there be such a good peasant, but later they saw that she was really honest and watered, and there was no other intention, so they happily accepted it.

Yin Lingyuan was busy all morning, watering all the vegetables that had grown, and at noon the farmers asked her to eat some dry food together, Yin Lingyuan refused, and did not go back to Qianfu.

As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into a drunken man, his face flushed abnormally, and he seemed to have been driven out of it.

Suddenly bumped into a person, the drunk man was unstable and was pushed by the impact, looked up at Yin Lingyuan, at the moment she was dressed as a man, the man seemed to have discovered some big secret, shouted and rushed up and pulled her arm: "Okay!" I'll just say why do you always run to your mother's house, it turns out that you have a concubine! Qian Liuniang! Tell me clearly, what's going on with this man? ”
