Qing Pingle Volume 4 Chapter 4 Cai Zhibei of Cold Noodles (II)
"All the crows in the world are generally black. Unless......" Jiu'er muttered, "unless the abductors have harmed their vested interests, or touched their sore spots, the officials will be willing to deal with it." ”
Just like the county magistrate of Nanyue City, if there was no pressure from the superiors and the temptation of money at that time, I am afraid that it would not be able to do well.
It was an unintentional sentence, but Cai Zhibei glanced at her deeply for no reason, and then became silent and stunned.
The carriage was running around, and the little boy seemed to feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so he moved his buttocks slightly, and moved closer to his brother, feeling embarrassed, and looked at Lu Jiu'er and smiled shyly.
Lu Jiu'er looked at the pair of black eyes like stars in the sky, blinking cleanly, then smiled at him and reached out to stroke the top of his hair.
Well, this action seems to be what Wei Ziqian used to do to her in the past, and he was most disgusted. But this ...... Well, maybe the subconscious has been affected a lot. This habit is not very good, you have to quit it.
Lu Jiu'er retracted her hand and asked him, "What's your name?" ”
The little boy looked at her and replied in a milky voice, "My brother said that you can't easily tell strangers their names." ”
"Really?" Lu Jiu'er's eyes were also shining, "Then you are an obedient and good boy." ”
Hearing the praise, the boy was very happy, but he couldn't bear to show it, but his eyes looked at his brother's face with great excitement. It's just that my brother's expression doesn't seem to be much different from just now.
Also, since my brother has told my sister about family affairs, I shouldn't be a stranger. He thought.
"Well, if you tell me your name, I'll tell you mine." He talks about the conditions like a little adult. That's fair.
That look was cute at the moment, and Lu Jiu'er couldn't help but chuckle.
Cai Zhibei's brows furrowed. It seems that his anti-abduction training for his younger brother needs to be further strengthened.
Lu Jiu'er looked at him and grinned. "Okay, my name is Jiu'er, how do I call you?"
"My name is Xiaoyuan," Cai Hengyuan responded with a bright smile, "He is my brother, his name is Dabei." ”
Cai Zhibei's eyebrows tightened even more, and he snorted coldly.
Lu Jiu'er greeted with a smile: "Hello Xiaoyuan." ”
Then, she tilted her head, looked at Cai Zhibei, and said with a smile, "Dabei, hello." ”
Cai Zhibei's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, he tightened his arc, coolly turned his face away, and looked at the scenery outside the carriage.
Well...... Hum!
It's another hum, but it's a temperature with a hint of popularity.
Lu Jiu'er smiled slightly.
The two brothers Cai Zhibei were placed in the guest compartment of the village, and Wumei and Shi were responsible for taking care of them every day, living a life of raising pigs......
Yes, it means that when you are full and sleep, you wake up and eat, you don't need to go out, you don't have to work, someone has arranged all your clothes, food, and shelter.
Cai Hengyuan is very happy, this kind of warm and comfortable comfort is the feeling of home.
For as long as I can remember, my impression has been that I am in a hurry without food and clothing, and then I have a rough diet, and I can only face the four walls every day, only my brother and his "home". But it's different here, there are a lot of good brothers and sisters, clean clothes, comfortable beds, and plenty of delicious food, and he can happily spread his feet and follow everyone around the wilderness, and more! He can also dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits, poke honeycombs and so on, and he can't even find himself when he flies.
But for Cai Zhibei, he has never felt such a ...... Shame, and uneasiness.
Although it is true that he deliberately stole her money bag in order to sabotage the kidnapper's work. But...... He really just wanted to get revenge on those kidnappers, and he also stole money because of his life. At the beginning, it was expedient, so I agreed to go to the village to recuperate for a period of time, but I didn't expect that the treatment was completely according to the general situation of Jiu'er's master's family, including the identity of Shi and Wumei as housekeepers, and he was also grateful to himself and treated him very politely, which made him ...... I only dared to hide in the room all day long, lying on the bed and facing the wall, and I didn't want to see people and talk anymore.
Lu Jiu'er is very busy, so busy that she doesn't have enough hours every day.
That day, she couldn't find any books related to agriculture in the provincial government, so she had specially asked Xiao Er from the bookstore to help pay attention to it, and as long as there were such volumes, she would immediately send a book list to Brother Wei. In addition, he also repaired two letters and sent them to Nanyue City to Ouyang Fuzi and Wei Ziqian, to see if they could ask them to help find one or two volumes.
It's really a book that I hate less when I use it. Lu Jiuer sighed again
Before there was no ready-made church membership, Lu Jiuer decided to take people as a teacher, as long as she went out, she would bring a pen and paper with her, and she would take notes on her experiences and tips with the tenant farmers and the old people in the village, and then go back to the house at night to pick up the lamp and sort it out, and then classify it into books.
The people in the village saw that pen and paper were rare, and it was even more amazing to see the girl who could read and write, and even the tone of conversation with her was much more gentle and polite, and the attitude was a little more - admiration and respect. And as long as she wants to ask for help with paperwork, Lu Jiuer does her best and never excuses herself, and the villagers treat her a lot more kindly.
I still remember that Lu Yonghong had a friend in Nanyue City, who was engaged in a fish business in the market. He listened to Nan'er's thoughts, although he did not make a clear statement, but he also felt that it was feasible in his heart, and went back to visit friends in the city to learn from him and ask for advice, and learned about the relevant market.
After Lu Jiu'er got this information, she compared it with the content that Shi inquired about, and frowned suspiciously.
"Why is the cost of digging ponds here so much higher than those in Nanyue City?" The price is about to double, "Brother Shi, where did you get this offer?" ”
"It was introduced by the people in the village, saying that as long as the fish pond is dug in these ten miles and eight townships, you have to find the person surnamed the end of the village this week. I came directly to inquire, and others also came to see the gravel in the village, measured the size and touched the soil quality, and then quoted the price. ”
Look at that posture is quite professional, but it is indeed more expensive.
Jiu'er pondered for a long time and asked Shishi: "Have you heard of it, why is the labor fee in Zhou Village so expensive, why do you still want to find him to dig a pond?" ”
Stone nodded, he was still doing things properly. "I have inquired in private, and it is said that it is a special person who does the work, and only the pond he dug will not cause an accident."
"What's wrong?" Jiu'er blinked, unintelligible. If you don't build a house professionally, it will collapse, and if you dig a cave and don't dig it well, it will collapse, but if you just dig a fish pond on the flat ground, how can something happen?
The stone scratched his head, although he thought it was a little incredible, but he still said truthfully: "It is that there have been strange things such as the pond water floating black and the fish turning their stomachs." The people in the village said that there would be unlucky things underground, and only the people surnamed Zhou would master the doorway handed down by their ancestors. Before he digs the pond, he will burn incense as a blessing, and he will only move the soil after knowing the land of the Quartet. As long as the fish pond dug by his hands, it is basically safe and sound. ”
Myths confuse the public. That week, I am afraid that the surname used this trick to monopolize the surrounding pond digging business.
Lu Jiu'er shook her head with a smile. But there is no evidence, she is just guessing, and if it is not good, she will say it casually.
"Well, for the sake of safety, I'll ask Daddy to learn more about how the ponds in other places are dug and whether there have been such supernatural events."
After all, it is not good to follow the local customs, and it is not good to commit the taboo of the locals just after settling down. However, she never wants to be a big boss who is slaughtered by others.
"Yes, girl." The stone replied respectfully.
He was very glad that after the Qi Mansion incident was sold, he was quickly bought back by the eldest young master, and he still worked under the girl.
Although he had been arranged to wait by the Seventh Young Master's side in the past, he already felt that it was a good life...... Uh, of course, the little master's temperament is very tormenting, but he is still a kind and pure heart, different from those vicious people in the second room. But now following the girl, I feel ...... It's completely different. The girl's way of dealing with people and things made him even have the illusion that he was not a slave who was sold for life.
Just by chatting and talking with the girl normally, he can also give ideas and suggestions, and he can also make decisions to some extent when he is out of the house...... This kind of thing he didn't dare to think of in the past, because there are only two possibilities for the consequences: either hit the board and deduct the monthly case, or directly send it to sell.
is also the reason, the more he sees the girl acting steadily and neatly, the more respectful and convincing he becomes.
Oh, he seems to have forgotten that he was the one who was bought by the eldest young master, although the deed of sale was temporarily stored with the girl, but it stands to reason that his real master should be the eldest young master......
Anyway, no matter. Anyway, he just thinks the girl is very good, very, very good. He followed this master's house and felt very happy.
And, he knew, Ume felt the same way. During the time she was in Zhuangzi, her happy smile also showed much more than usual, she spoke boldly, and her voice increased a lot. It's no longer the submissive and trembling little maid she used to be.
The stone secretly raised his eyes to look at the black plum who was staying in the shade of the tree. She had just finished making the girl's dress, and was now adding some embroidery and knots to embellish it. Bow your head and focus, the needle and thread fall together, the girl is fifteen years old, and she is gentle and self-contained in her gestures.
The stone couldn't help it, and his dark cheeks flushed slightly.
Jiu'er was thinking about things, but her heart moved slightly, and when she raised her eyes to see this scene, she couldn't help but smile silently.
