The first moment of the hour set off, the first moment of the time arrived at the hot spring village in the suburbs of Shunjing County, the head of the village early led the family to clean up the room, through the kang, burned the charcoal basin, the house was warm like spring.
There are six courtyards in the village, which are one of the four courtyards with the east and west across the courtyard, and there is a spring in the east and west across the courtyard, which can not live in people, and it is convenient for the master to soak in the hot springs. There are two in the three courtyards, two in the courtyard, and one in the courtyard.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, there is a kitchen, which is very close to the courtyard of the fourth courtyard, next to the west courtyard; One of the two courtyards is where the Zhuangtou family lives. As soon as Mrs. Yan asked the village leaders to clean up the courtyard, as soon as they entered the hall, Yan Hong shouted: "Grandmother, let them bring food in, Honghong is hungry." โ
"Sister Thirteen lied, you ate a lot of pastries in the carriage, and they all hit your throat." Yan Jing debunked her.
Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, "Little Fourteen, you are becoming less and less cute!" โ
"Sister Twelve said that children who tell the truth are the cutest." Yan Jing was not convinced.
Yan Hong wanted to say something, but was dragged over by her mother, Mrs. Yan Wu, "You don't say a word to me, what else can you do besides eating?" โ
"You can still pull it!" Yan Hong replied very seriously.
Mrs. Yan Wu blocked it in one breath, almost didn't have a seizure, why did she give birth to such a simple foodie? If it weren't for Mrs. Yan sitting on it, she would have to teach this stinky girl a good lesson.
Mrs. Yan allocated the place to live, she lived in the main house of the second entrance, Mrs. Yan lived in the east wing, and Yan Fen and Yan Jing lived in the west wing. The lord of Nanping County lives in the main house of Sanjin, Yan Hagi lives in the east wing, and Yan Miao of the long house lives in the west wing. The main house of the fourth entrance is where Mrs. Yan San and Mrs. Yan Wu live, Yan Qian and Yan Rui live in the east wing, and Yan Ying and Yan Hong live in the west wing.
The masters ate in the main hall where they entered, and the maidservants went to the room to set things up. After the meal, Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "Rest for a while, let's go to the hot springs." โ
The east courtyard is for men, and the west courtyard is the territory of women's dependents. Mrs. Yan and her four daughters-in-law soaked in the soup pool in the east wing, while the girls went to the west wing. The green brick pond is about five meters long and three meters wide, just like a small swimming pool.
On a whim, Yan Hagi swam around in the pool, like a mermaid; Yan Qian's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "Twelfth sister, when did you learn to drink water?" โ
"I've been learning for several years, what's wrong?" Yan Hagi leaned on the edge of the pool and looked back and asked.
"No, I just didn't think you'd be in the water." Yan Qian's brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes. The trick of pushing Yan Hagi into the water, asking a man to save her and ruining her reputation, or letting her drown in the water, didn't work.
"Sister Twelve, why do you want to learn how to make water?" Yan Hong asked curiously.
"That way, I'm not afraid of being pushed into the water." Yan Hagi smiled.
Yan Qian's eyelids jumped, what did Yan Hao mean by this?
"Who is so bad that he pushes someone into the water?" Yan Hong pouted.
"People with bad intentions." Yan Hagi just said casually, and Yan Qian, who was a thief, was flustered for a while, and quietly stayed away from Yan Hagi.
Yan Hao had no intention of revealing that she would be able to drink water, although she was saved from a disaster, but Yan Qian would never let go of this rare opportunity to go out together; Three days later, Yan heard that there would be fairs every Friday in several villages near Zhuangzi, which was very lively.
Yan Qian clearly knew that her relationship with Yan Hagi was not good, if she went to tell Yan Hagi to go to the market, Yan Hagi would 100% refuse, Yan Qian played Yan Jing's idea, "Little Fourteen, you haven't visited the market, have you?" โ
Yan Jing shook her head, she was young, she didn't have her share in coming to the hot spring this time, she relied on Yan Hagi to get into the carriage, not to mention visiting the market, she never went out after she returned to the capital.
"The market here is different from the one in the city, but it's fun, and the food sold is also different from that in Beijing, I heard that there are roasted sweet potatoes, fried chestnuts, fried tongs, fried sesame balls, and you can also eat unique glutinous cakes and salt drum soup." Yan Qian tempted Yan Jing with all kinds of food, "Little Fourteen, do you want to go to the market?" โ
"Think, think, I'm going to the market to buy food, sixth sister, you take Xiao Fourteen to the market." Yan Jing said eagerly.
Yan Qian saw her take the bait, and said with a smile: "What's the point of the two of us going, call everyone up, and Ming'er will go together." โ
Yan Jing is young, she can't think of so much, as long as she can go to the market, "Okay, okay, let's go together tomorrow." โ
"You remember to call your twelfth sister." Yan Qiantu is poor.
"I'll go tell Sister Twelve." Yan Jing ran away, Yan Qian looked at her round back, the corners of her lips hooked, and smiled proudly.
Yan Jing ran to Yan Hao's room, "Twelfth sister, twelfth sister." โ
Yan Hagi put aside the notebook in his hand, "Little Fourteen, what are you doing?" โ
"Sister Twelve." Yan Jing pounced in front of Yan Hao, "I'll go to the market tomorrow to play and buy food." โ
Looking at Yan Jing, who was swallowing saliva, Yan Hao smiled and asked, "How do you know that there is a market tomorrow?" โ
"The sixth sister told me, and the sixth sister asked me to call everyone to go with me." Yan Jing confessed Yan Qian at once.
Yan Hao's eyes flowed, knowing that Yan Qian was a thief to her, and wanted to make a move on her, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together." โ
"I'll go find Sister Thirteen." Yan Jing ran away again.
Yan Hagi got off the kang slowly, put on his shoes, put on a big red feather satin cloak and went to the main room, and the lord of Nanping County saw her coming over again, "You go in and out, be careful about the cold." โ
"No, it won't." Yan Hao took off his cloak and sat down beside the county lord of Nanping, "Mother, I'm here to borrow someone from you." โ
"Borrowing whom?" The county lord of Nanping asked puzzled.
Yan Hao told Yan Qian that Yan Qian asked Yan Jing to abduct her to the market, "I think Yan Qian has bad intentions, so I borrowed someone to protect me." โ
"You kid, what are you doing to put yourself at risk?" The county lord of Nanping asked angrily.
"Mother, I don't call myself in danger, I call it leading the snake out of the hole. Grandmother wants to see us sisters live in harmony, but Yan Qian always likes to engage in these little actions, which is very annoying, if she catches her handle this time, she can be punished severely, so that she will not dare to harm me again. Yan Hagi clenched his fists hard.
The county lord of Nanping thought for a while and said, "This matter is up to you." โ
"Thank you, mother." Yan Hagi said happily.
The next day, the nine ladies of the Yan family, each with a maidservant, led by the youngest son of the head of the village, went to the market in a carriage; Along the way, the wife was peaceful, and after half an hour, I arrived, there were two rows of simple houses made of wood, but most of the villagers carried some things and put them directly on the way to sell, and most of the things for sale were made by the villagers themselves. There are not only baskets made of bamboo, baskets, hats, straw sandals made of straw, but also dyed homespun cloth.
It was the villagers from the neighborhood who came to sell things, and so did the people who came to buy things, and some simply bartered them. This bazaar is indeed different from the orderly bazaar in the capital, it is chaotic but not chaotic.
"Miss Six, there are more and more people, and the carriage can't pass." The driver opened the door a little and reported inside.
With the marriage of the first five young ladies, Yan Qian is now the eldest, and she replied: "The carriage stops here, let's go over." โ
Yan Hagi and the others got out of the carriage with Yan Xiang, and among a group of people wearing homespun clothes, their group was particularly eye-catching. Yan Qian looked left and right as he walked, as if he was looking for someone. Yan Hagi calmly followed her, with a light smile on his lips and a calm expression.
"Rock sugar gourd, delicious rock sugar gourd, two pennies a string." A man selling rock sugar gourds shouted.
"Rock sugar gourd, I want to eat rock sugar gourd." Yan Jing shouted.
The vendor selling rock sugar gourds heard this, and came over with a straw pole, "Miss, a string of two copper plates." โ
"Sister Twelve, I want to eat it too." Yan Hong swallowed.
"Buy four." Yan Hagi generously asked the two of them to take two each.
With rock sugar gourds, Yan Hong and Yan Jing did not give up and continued to look for food, and many of them bought roasted sweet potatoes, melon seed praline, and hawthorn cakes. Everything here is very cheap, two big roasted sweet potatoes are only three copper plates, and a large bundle of dried vegetables is only five copper plates.
They ate to their heart's content, but Yan Qian became more and more anxious, they had been shopping for so long, why didn't those people make a move? Yan Qian looked back and saw Yan Hagi following her, and seemed to understand that there was no chance to make a move, and she had to create opportunities for those people. Yan Qian raised his eyes and saw a bunch of people in front of him, and the opportunity came, "It's so lively in front, let's go over and have a look." โ
Yan Hagi raised her eyebrows, did she want to take advantage of the crowd to squeeze her apart? He coughed lightly and motioned to the people who came to protect her, to protect her and arrest people.
"Twelfth sister, come here." Yan Qian deliberately shouted, reporting to people to point out the target person.
Yan Hagi smiled, "It's here." โ
But I squeezed in, watched the juggling for a while, and everyone squeezed out again, and nothing happened.
Yan Hagi was at a loss, why didn't he do it?
Yan Qian was also at a loss, why didn't he do it?
The two of them were not big enough, and they were crowded in the crowd, so they didn't see a few men who looked like good people staring at them not far away.
An obscene-looking man was asking the strong man who was holding his chest on a cold day, revealing his black chest hair, "Boss, don't you do it?" โ
The strong man raised his hand and patted him on the head, and said, "Move your mother's lameness, move a fart." I didn't see that chick was protected, the few around her were all practitioners, and one could kill five or six of us, do you want to die? If you want to find death, go by yourself, Lao Tzu will not stop you. โ
The lewd man shrank back, he didn't want to die, "But boss, we took the money." โ
"What's wrong with the money? We're gangsters, we're not brutes, didn't Mr. One-Eyed say what's the matter, that's stupid. Lao Tzu is not stupid, for that little money, he lost his life, it is not worth it. The strong man wiped his chin, "Let's go, let's drink." โ
A few people went to a small shop to drink, and they didn't experience the mood of Yan Qian, who was anxiously waiting for them to make a move.
The ladies of the Yan family got something in the bazaar, and happily got into the carriage and went back. Yan Hagi went to see the county lord of Nanping, "Mother, it seems that I am thinking too much." "Yan Hao really can't figure this out, how could Yan Qian coax her out without doing anything?
"You and the sixth girl are just some small disputes, after all, you are cousins, don't think too badly of her." The county lord of Nanping smiled and pinched Yan Hagi's nose, she didn't believe what Yan Hagi said yesterday, she just indulged her.
"It's not that I think of her too badly, she's already bad." Yan Hagi fell listlessly into her arms, "I still want to lure the snake out of the hole, who knows that there is no snake at all, I should not have been bitten by a snake once, and I have been afraid of the well rope for ten years." โ
"When did you get bitten by a snake?" The county lord of Nanping put his arm around her and asked with a smile.
Yan Hao pursed her lower lip, there are some things that she still has to tell her mother, "Mother, Yan Qian once bought my maidservant, took a hundred taels of silver tickets to buy peppercorns, and wanted to steal the words I wrote. โ
The county lord of Nanping was startled, raised his hand and slapped Yan Hao a few times, and asked angrily and anxiously: "You girl who doesn't know the seriousness, why don't you hide this kind of thing?" โ
"Ouch, mother, it hurts! It hurts! Yan Hagi rolled out of her arms, "It's not that I don't say it, but if it's disposed of, there's no need to say it." โ
The county lord of Nanping snorted lightly, "By the way, where did Yan Qian get a hundred taels of silver?" "Mrs. Yan San has always been slamming the door, and she is absolutely reluctant to give so much silver to spend on her daughter.
"She became a red gold head, and I asked people to steal the pawn ticket and quietly send it to the eldest aunt." Yan Hagi smiled.
The county lord of Nanping had vaguely heard about this, but he didn't expect that there was also something about Yan Hagi in it, "It turns out that you girl made a ghost." โ
Yan Hagi grinned, "Mother, I handled this matter well." โ
"It's okay, my mother knows that you are a smart child, but if something happens in the future, you still have to remember to tell your mother that your own safety is the most important thing in everything." The lord of Nanping is cautious and authentic.
"I know, mother, don't worry." Yan Hagi smiled.
The county lord of Nanping smiled and touched Yan Hao's head, she can't hide her daughter under her wings forever, so let Yan Qian be her daughter's whetstone, but she will also find someone to keep an eye on Yan Xiang, and she will never let Yan Xiang really hurt her daughter.
"By the way, why did Yan Qian deal with you?" The county lord of Nanping can't figure it out, and the age difference in the next room is there, so there is no conflict of interest.
"Because if you don't have a daughter, you can bring your niece." Yan Hagi couldn't say that Yan Qian was reborn, but just casually found a plausible excuse.
The county lord of Nanping sneered, "Even if I don't have a daughter, what I want to carry is the Rong girl and Qin girl of the long house, and it won't be her turn." Besides, even if I want to carry three rooms, there is still a Zhi girl. โ
Yan Hao's eyes rolled, "Then you should assume that she has a brain problem." โ
"You kid, you won't tell the truth to your mother." The county lord of Nanping stretched out his finger and poked her in the head.
"Mother, I really don't know." Yan Hagi made a sad face.
"Come on, my mother won't ask." The county lord of Nanping no longer bothered about why Yan Xiang wanted to deal with Yan Hao.
At the same time, Yan Qian was interrogating Moju, the maid who was looking for someone, "Have you found someone?" Yan Qian was in a bad mood, and she finally came up with this method, but she didn't succeed. You must know that you have been to such a humble market once, and it is impossible to coax Yan Hagi to go again.
"Miss Mingjian, the slave maid did find someone, but the slave maid didn't know why they didn't do it." Mo Ju was bought from Ya Po, a person from the surrounding villages of Shunjing County, whose parents died and was sold by his uncle.
Yan Qian felt that Mo Ju didn't dare to lie to her about this, "You go to your cousin and ask what's going on?" Why didn't you do anything when you took the money? โ
It was getting dark, and Mo Ju waited until the next day, and quietly slipped out early in the morning to find her cousin. She walked back and forth, and it took most of the day to come back in the afternoon.
