Chapter 44: On the Importance of Money.
"Got it, here you go." Xiaoqing glanced at Mei indifferently, then threw the hoe in his hand to Mei, and then put the back basket on the ground casually.
"I ······ I'm going to farm too? Mei looked at the heavy hoe in his hand, as heavy as his heart, and he asked incredulously.
In his hands, he had always only held a sword, and had never held any other tool.
They are secret guards, on the one hand, they protect their masters, and on the other hand, they kill people invisibly, and now they let him have a secret guard to farm the land?
Where does his face go when he says it?
Xiao Qing glanced at Mei, who didn't look like a joke at all.
"Okay, good, I'll plant ······ I plant ······" Mei's arrogance suddenly became angry, as the so-called, the husband can bend and stretch, if you don't say anything today, if I don't say it, no one will know.
If anyone dares to spread the word—
Mei stared gloomily at the dozen or so people who were busy, and everyone felt that they were sitting on pins and needles, and they all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to look at Mei at all.
Very good, the one who knows the times is Junjie, and Mei is very satisfied with the performance of these subordinates.
Xiaoqing crossed her hands and stood there with a cold appearance, her eyes wandering between them, as if she was supervising.
When Bai Nishang cooked the porridge and put it on the stone table in the courtyard, took out the buns together, grabbed a little sauerkraut from the jar, tore it into several sections, and was about to go out to find Xiaoqing.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of the courtyard, she saw several boxes of melons, fruits, and vegetables neatly placed outside, all of which were green and tender, looking beautiful and delicious.
Huh?
Xiaoqing moves so fast?
Wrong.
They only have one bamboo basket in their house, where did the remaining five come from?
Bai Nishang was a little puzzled.
"Sister, it's so fragrant." When Bai Nishang was puzzled, she heard Xiaoqing's voice behind her, and she looked back.
I saw Xiaoqing wipe the water stains in his hands with a handkerchief, and his eyes looked directly at the dishes on the table, and he closed his eyes and sniffed it with satisfaction.
"When did you come back?" Bai Ni's stomach was full of doubts.
"Just now, I washed my hands by the way, come and eat." Xiaoqing called softly, although her voice was still cold, Bai Nishang knew that this was already a pleasant face.
"Why did you move so fast to pick all the ripe fruits and vegetables in the field? Also, where did the other baskets come from? Bai Nishang sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and took a small sip of porridge first.
This porridge is cooked very thickly, and there is the taste of a hundred flowers in it, and between chewing, I can taste the gorgeous roses, the sweetness of jasmine, and the sweetness of peonies······ and there is a full fragrance of flowers between the lips and teeth, as if in the depths of a hundred gardens.
"Well, I'm done, I borrowed it from someone else." Xiaoqing's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, he drank the hot potpourri porridge with satisfaction, and his mood was much happier.
"I'm going to give it back when it's used up for a while." Bai Nishang can't do it everywhere, she commanded.
"Hmm." Xiaoqing glanced at the bamboo basket at the door lightly, and it is true that it is not good to look good in this room, so it is good to keep one or two.
So after the meal, Bai Nishang was busy washing the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiaoqing calmly called Mei back, handed over all the bamboo baskets he had emptied to Mei, and asked him to dispose of them all.
Mei complained bitterly, he was a secret guard, a secret guard who killed people without blinking.
Isn't it overkill to do such things now?
It's all strange that Lan is busy dealing with the affairs of the second prince, and the safety of the current master is borne by him alone, so he will be called like this.
"By the way, remember to bring a bag of silver tomorrow." Xiaoqing waved her hand and was about to retire Mei, but suddenly remembered the food shortage at home that her sister casually mentioned last night.
“······ Good. Mei wept and mourned, carrying five bamboo baskets on her back, like a thief, and fled.
Xiaoqing was about to go back to the courtyard when the sound of Bai Nishang came from the door.
"Xiaoqing~" is crisp and beautiful, like a cuckoo singing, refreshing.
"Huh?" Xiaoqing turned her face sideways, looking at the white clothes behind her, her pupils condensed slightly.
Just because what greeted him was that beautiful face, Xiao Qing admitted from the bottom of his heart that the woman in front of him was the most delicate appearance he had ever seen in his life.
If such a face becomes a pawn to confuse the king, I am afraid that it will be good if I try it.
She is beautiful like poison, and people want to indulge in it.
Xiaoqing hurriedly looked away, slowly calming down the somewhat restless heart.
His identity can't and can't have anything to do with this woman, and becoming a stranger with him is the best protection for his sister.
"Let's go, let's go see Grandma Li, I brought plum wine~" Bai Nishang raised the small jar in her hand and smiled like a child.
"Hmm." Xiao Qing bowed his head and kept up with Bai Nishang's steps.
The two of them walked all the way along the riverbank, and before they had gone far, they saw Grandma Li sitting alone in front of her yard, wearing a straw hat, looking at the sun on the horizon, and she had the usual crutches in her hand.
She was extremely thin, as if she were skinny, and she sat there petite as if she had been broken by a pinch.
When Bai Nishang saw Grandma Li's appearance, she thought of her own grandmother, and her heart was inexplicably stained with a touch of sourness.
"Grandma Li~I'm coming to see you~" Bai Nishang changed her mood, walked quickly to Grandma Li, and slowly squatted down.
"Ouch, it's you, girl, why are you here, come on, sit down." Grandma Li squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Nishang carefully, making sure that the person in front of her was an acquaintance, and hurriedly sat down with Bai Nishang.
"Didn't you give me some food last time? I also told my brother a clue, and now that my brother is back, I brought him over to thank you! Bai Nishang pointed to the tall voice that followed her and explained.
Grandma Li looked at it, and then she saw the pink little girl in front of her, followed by a delicate young man.
When the two of them walked out, no one believed that they would be from this village.
No wonder it's a sister and brother, and my father and mother are beautiful.
"Come on, boy, you sit too, you sit too." Grandma Li trembled and pointed to another chair and greeted Xiaoqing.
Brother?
Xiaoqing's eyes crossed Bai Nishang's face, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile.
Then, he followed Grandma Li's hand, moved the stool in a bit, and sat down.
Bai Nishang naturally saw Xiao Qing's meaningful glance, and she squeezed her eyebrows at Xiao Qing, suggesting that he should not talk nonsense.
Xiaoqing naturally doesn't talk nonsense, more precisely, he doesn't want to talk at all.
He sat there coldly, the smile just now was fleeting, he was quiet as if he was not pure at all, and he chatted passionately with Bai Nishang and Grandma Li, forming a stark contrast.
"Grandma Li, this is my own green plum wine, not long after it was made, you have to cover it for half a year before opening it, it's delicious~" As soon as Bai Nishang sat down, she handed the wine jar in her hand to Grandma Li.
