The family stood on the far embankment, where the summer vegetation was lush and many mosquitoes were flying and buzzing at their feet.

Xie Jingze picked a leaf and gently blew beautiful music on his lips.

These are about many years later, Xie Jingyi can remember one of the few soft scenes.

Most of the time, although she is not on the battlefield, she has always been in the shadow of swords and blood.

She painted very quickly, and after a while, a picture of a fishing song in the Spring River was completed.

As soon as she put down the pen, Mrs. Song exclaimed, "I saw the skirt you drew before, and I thought about accepting you as an apprentice, but now that I think about it, I really blush, you disciple, I can't afford it!" Your words remind me of the indescribable happiness I felt when I was a child, eating candy for the first time. ”

If you are from an official family, even if you can't draw, you can still look at it, and at this time, no matter how disgusted Xie Jingyi is, no one can open your eyes and talk nonsense and criticize indiscriminately.

After all, this painting technique is unbeatable.

If it weren't for everyone to see her draw with their own eyes, there is really no way to imagine that this is the work of a teenage girl.

Chai Youchen watched from a distance and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.

With Xie Jingyilu's hand, none of the remaining little ladies drew with a pen anymore, but Song Guangyao, who usually doesn't like to talk, danced a good dance and won some praise.

Until the end of the banquet, I didn't see Liu Yingying's sisters again, it was Wang Xiaolang's family, and they were not here early.

Time flies, the weather has warmed up for a while, the peach blossoms in the whole city of Hangzhou, as if they have bloomed overnight, red and pink, white, looking from a distance, like a Rouge Mountain, the breeze is coming, the petals are falling off and sprinkled on the ground, like a layer of velvet carpet.

Xie Jingyi these days, there are countless banquets, going out today, visiting the lake tomorrow, like a good day in a year, all crowded together, the whole person is rounded, so that when she looks in the mirror, she is a little bored.

Except for the days when he went to the banquet, Xie Jingyi was at home to adjust colors.

The Tianbu Workshop on Zhengyang Street has quietly put on new colors and new colors of silk, which has attracted a lot of gossip, but as soon as I heard that the owner of the shop is the second son of Chai of Qi Guogong, the thief head and thief have red eyes, and there are many fewer people.

In the city of Hangzhou, there has been no side topic recently, and the most talked about is Liu Qingqing, a beautiful and beautiful noblewoman, who wants to marry Wang Zhixian's youngest son. It is said that it is a family affair set in September of this year.

To Xie Jingyi's surprise, Liu Yingying has never appeared in front of her again these days, as if the incident of her stuffing a note has never happened.

……

Xie Jingyi rode on a little donkey, wandering around in Fuyang County, the lobby brother told the daughter of a master in Fuyang Academy about family affairs, and asked them to buy some fresh dowry gifts in Hangzhou, Zhai's body gradually became heavier, so Xie Jingze led her to send it over.

"Uncle, how do you sell this whistle?" Xie Jingyi jumped down from the little donkey and quickly spoke in Fuyang dialect.

The man was neatly dressed, but with patches of different colors, a yellow, black face, calloused hands, and a dead wooden cane beside him.

The old man shrunk his legs slightly, "Little doll, give a penny." I made it myself, you see which one you like. ”

Xie Jingyi took one casually, put it in his mouth and blew it gently, and immediately made a crisp beep.

"I want five. Uncle, now is the time when the farm is busy, why did you come to the city to sell whistles. ”

The old man happily took the five cents and pointed to his leg, "No, when I was young, I was also a good farmer, but then I did military service and injured my leg." The older you get, the more useless you are, so you can only sell small things and subsidize them, otherwise, there will be no money to buy seedlings at home next season. ”

"Money to buy seedlings? Isn't it possible to borrow from the court? ”

When the old man heard this, he anxiously tugged at Xie Jingyi's sleeves, but his hands were full of calluses, and he accidentally hung several veils of silk on Xie Jingyi's body.

The old man's eyes quickly turned red, "This little lady, it's all my fault, I can't afford to pay for this and this clothes...... I'm me, I'm okay with all these whistles, that's all I have, I've done it for three days, and I'll do it well. ”

Xie Jingyi's heart was slightly sour, and he waved his hand, "What did you say, uncle, my clothes are already rotten, and they have nothing to do with you." ”

She said, lowering her voice, "Why doesn't the court refuse to borrow it?" I heard that the new magistrate of Fuyang is a capable official. ”

The old man hesitated, but he was afraid that he would not answer, Xie Jingyi asked him to pay for his clothes, and said in a voice that could almost only be heard by the two of them, "Willing to borrow, willing to borrow, why don't you want to borrow?" If you don't want to borrow, you have to borrow. ”

Xie Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and sighed in her heart, although she already knew that there was a big problem with this new law.

But what you can see with your own eyes is much more shocking than the polemics that quote the scriptures from the excerpts.

"Why don't you want to borrow it? If there are good seedlings and good planting, won't life be better? ”

The old man's eyes dimmed a lot, "Isn't it necessary to repay the borrowed money?" If the year is not good, what will we take? This is not the money owed by the owner of the house, but the money owed by the official master...... Alas......"

"I was able to borrow money because of my brother-in-law's guarantee. Because of this, his mother-in-law quarreled with him, I was lame, and I only had one son, and the old woman and son all went down to the ground, and I wanted to guard those green seedlings every day, in case ...... If it doesn't work, then my wife and son, what face do you have to go back to see your uncle. ”

The old man said, waving his hand, "Hey, I'm talking to the little lady about what you're talking about." Little lady, you have a good heart, and the official master is also good-hearted, and you still borrow money from us. It's all old men who are useless, timid, and afraid! ”

Xie Jingyi nodded and gave his husband a reassuring look, "Everything will be fine, I look at this year, it will be smooth!" ”

The old man smiled reluctantly, "If that's the case, it's fine." ”

Xie Jingyi took the whistle and blew it in her mouth, and the whistle was as crisp as before, but she always felt that it was not as cheerful as it was at the beginning.

"Sanlazi, are we still shopping?" Qingping asked curiously.

Xie Jingyi shook his head, "Let's go, I don't think it's too early, let's go back to Qingshan Village, lest it get dark and my brother and aunt will worry." ”

Qingping responded and took the little donkey, "If the three ladies go shopping, let's go back the day after tomorrow, passing by this Fuyang County, and we can go shopping again." ”
