Ren Ran is also a clever person, and having him help Ye Qingyan really makes her a lot easier, and she doesn't have to be in such a hurry.

Ye Qingyan was wearing a short coarse cloth coat that was convenient for work, a turban was wrapped around his head, and he went out with a large bowl of noodles in his hand.

People here like to visit the door when they eat, and sometimes they will go to the neighbor's house to eat a bite of food.

Ye Qingyan followed the customs of the locals, and also went out with a big bowl of noodles to rub vegetables.

The neighbors here know her. The first time I came to receive the goods in the winter, I didn't press their prices, and I really won everyone's favor. Now as long as she says she wants the goods, she will give it tightly.

"Sister-in-law Kang, what kind of dishes did you cook today, it's so fragrant." Ye Qingyan carried the noodle bowl into the farmer opposite her door.

Kang's sister-in-law's man died early, and a woman pulled her two sons, and her life was tight. Every time Ye Qingyan receives the goods, the price given to her will be two percent higher. Sister-in-law Kang always said that it was okay to have a price with everyone, but Ye Qingyan only said that her goods were good and worth that price. Sister-in-law Kang knew that Ye Qingyan was kind enough to help her, but it was this kindness that gave her a little hope in her hard days.

"Sister Mingyan, please take a seat." Sister-in-law Kang wiped the bench and placed it in front of the stone table in the courtyard.

Ye Qingyan was also polite, "What about Dabao and Erbao?" ”

"They went to the village chief's house to listen to the class, and the village chief taught the children in the village to speak Yan Dynasty at this time of the day."

"I'll go back to Jizhou and find someone who understands Sidi, and learn your words well."

"My sister is still looking for someone to do, and my sister-in-law will teach you."

"Haha, okay, I'll trouble my sister-in-law another day."

"What trouble?" Sister-in-law Kang put a bowl of chicken soup in front of Ye Qingyan, "Come, it's just your noodles." ”

"Wow! It's chicken broth. Ye Qingyan took a sip of it, it was very fresh, "It's great!" ”

Sister-in-law Kang took a large plate of freshly cooked vegetables, put them on the stone table, and accompanied Ye Qingyan to eat, "Two days ago, a double foreigner came to our village, with a maid and an old mother, and lived in a house two households behind my house. They bought me two chickens and told me to kill them. I killed a rooster and a hen, and they didn't want a rooster, they wanted a hen. The rest of the rooster, I boiled a pot of soup by myself, and stewed wild vegetables and dried bamboo shoots, those two boys ate all the meat greedily, I knew that the girl was coming, I must leave the rooster, and wait for you to come. ”

"No, didn't you drink the soup too? Sister-in-law Kang's house is separated by two households, is it Lao Liutou's house? ”

"Yes, Lao Liutou died last month, and his son, his wife, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law lived in a new house near the village chief's house, and the old house was empty. Speaking of which, the money for their family to build a new house is still the first time to go back to Mingyan's sister to receive the goods, which makes their family earn a lot. ”

"That's good. By the way, in addition to receiving the goods this time, I also have to cut some seven inches of grass, if Sister-in-law Kang has time, she will help me cut it, and you can say as much as you want. ”

"What kind of money do you pay, it's all the neighbors, I will go into the mountains to cut the grass early tomorrow morning, and the seven-inch grass with dew in the morning will smell the strongest."

That's what it means, to make it taste fresh. It's also weird, this thing wilts as soon as it wilts...... Anyway, it smells. ”

"It just stinks."

"Well, then it's decided, Ming'er will go into the mountain early in the morning, and go to cut the ditch first."

"Okay."

After Ye Qingyan ate and drank enough, she took the bowl that Sister-in-law Kang helped her clean and went back to her small courtyard.

Ren Ran was lying on a wooden recliner, taking a leisurely rest. Hearing Ye Qingyan's footsteps coming back, he quipped: "This meal is eaten at someone else's house." ”

"The local characteristics and customs, so it seems to be a good relationship." Ye Qingyan put the bowl into the kitchen, put the chopped herbs into the cauldron, and steamed them, "I found a helper, and we will cut the herbs together tomorrow." ”

Ren Ran looked at Ye Qingyan, who was busy with work, and also got up from the recliner and went into the kitchen to help her light the fire.

"Do you like doing this?"

"I must have done it if I liked it, and I didn't like that I had already been pampered in the house. It's tiring that you follow the bumps and do these little things that don't say anything. ”

"Accept the king's fortune and share the worries for the king. In fact, he wants to accompany you to do these little things. Ren Ran threw a handful of broken wood into the stove.

Ye Qingyan thought about Xiao Changqi, and a ripple appeared in his heart, "Who knows, he hasn't been with me either." ”

"Haven't you been?" Ren Ran whispered, with a slightly mysterious smile on his face.

Ye Qingyan was busy with the matter at hand, so he didn't notice the smile on Ren Ran's face, and he didn't even hear Ren Ran's words clearly.

"You came with me this time, just to pick herbs with me, nothing else, right?" This other thing is naturally Xiao Changqi's business.

Ren Ran knew what she meant, and replied: "No, just protect you and be a good person." ”

"I mean, if you have other things to do, you can go and get busy now. It's not the first time I've received and made incense here, and I can do it alone. ”

"If anything, I'll tell you."

"Good. Heat low and steam over low heat. Ye Qingyan glanced at him casually, and found that he had been looking at him, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there something on my face?" ”

"When can I see your true face?" Ren Ran blurted out.

Ye Qingyan was slightly stunned.

Ren Ran said again: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." ”

Ye Qingyan shook his head, "It's okay." But my face, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I go back to the capital. Just in case, I don't show my face to the outside world. "Except for Xiao Changqi, he doesn't respect her wishes at all, and he likes to peel off the mask on her face in private.

"Are you afraid of revealing your true face and causing trouble for that stand-in in the house?" Ren Ran said.

Ye Qingyan glanced at him again, and this time she didn't answer his question. In fact, it is. In the prince's palace in Jizhou, it is inevitable that other forces will be planted with the eyeliner, if she shows her true face and is found again, if Chunyu can run away, it is okay, if she is caught, she will definitely die. Chunyu is her closest person, and all the people in Yefu combined, none of them are important to her. Xiao Changqi also saw through this point, so she left Chunyu in the palace, so no matter where she went, she had to take care of Chunyu, and it was impossible for her to really fly away.

Before dawn the next day, Sister-in-law Kang went up the mountain with a sickle to cut herbs.

When Ye Qingyan carried the two baskets to the place where the herbs were cut, Sister-in-law Kang had already cut two baskets, and the rows were neatly stacked, and there was not even a single weed. is better than Ye Qingyan, a person who doesn't work for a long time, and I don't know how much stronger he is.

"Sister-in-law Kang, but it's a big help, come and drink saliva." Ye Qingyan brought a pot of water and handed it to Sister-in-law Kang.
