Chapter 36 Return to Qinghe Village
Qinghe Village is still the same Qinghe Village, and the farmers are busy in the fields. Patches of gold indicate that Qinghe Village has ushered in another bumper harvest year. And Lu Xiang'er, who was sitting on the ox cart, looked at Qinghe Village, which was getting closer and closer, but sighed that something was wrong.
Looking at Ye Shun sitting next to Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er finally understood why Song Yuan left without lunch yesterday. He felt a little guilty, so this morning, he asked Ye Shun to come to Lu's house early and accompany Lu Hong's brothers and sisters to Qinghe Village.
Ye Shun is Ye Feng's follower, and he has met many people, and the village of Qinghe Village will visit Ye Feng every time he goes to the county, so he naturally knows Ye Shun. With Ye Shun by his side, I believe that Muramasa Niu Mancang will definitely help the Lu family brothers and sisters. Moreover, with Muramasa's reminder, those people in the village who love to tell right and wrong must also be careful not to embarrass the Lu family brothers and sisters.
Song Yuan's arrangement made Lu Xiang'er very grateful and remembered it in her heart. Thinking that with the right time, she would definitely repay Song Yuan. But Lu Hong admired Song Yuan even more, and now he had the intention of learning martial arts from Song Yuan.
Lu Hong didn't blame Song Yuan at all, but he had a lot of resentment towards Qinghe Village. He didn't understand that they had never provoked anyone else and lived their own lives. Why do some people living in the same village have to come and bully their family?
Seeing that the ox cart was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Lu Hong turned his head and said to Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, when you get to the village later, you go to our house first and wait, and I will go to the village with Steward Ye." ”
Ye Shun was in a very comfortable mood when he saw that Lu Hong actually called himself in charge, and hurriedly nodded to this student whom Song Yuan loved: "Just go, little lady, I will definitely live up to Mr. Song's entrustment and do this matter beautifully." ”
"Okay then, I'll ask Ye to take care of it." Lu Hong was willing to come out, and Lu Xianger was happy to hide behind. Besides, except for the Zhao family and the Zou family, Lu Xianger really doesn't have much affection for other people in Qinghe Village. At this time, there was no need to face these people, Lu Xiang'er was naturally very happy.
When Lu Hong saw Lu Xiang'er's heartfelt smile, he knew that she was in the same mood as himself, and his heart was very comfortable. After a few more repeated instructions, Lu Hong stopped the ox cart and let Lu Xiang'er leave on her own. It wasn't until he couldn't see Lu Xiang'er's background that Lu Hong drove to the house full of cattle in the village with an ox cart.
Ye Shun saw the end from the beginning and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Hong and Little Lady Lu's brother and sister relationship is really good. No, the relationship between Brother Hong'er's family of three is really enviable. ”
Regarding the relationship between Lu Xiang'er and Lu Erniang and Lu Hong, Ye Shun also heard about it from Ye Feng. He didn't expect that such a lovely Lu Xianger would have such a tragic life experience. At the same time, he also envied Lu Xiang'er for enjoying the happiness of family affection without her parents. At least, Lu Xiang'er is happier than Ye Shun.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Lu Xiang'er walked into the courtyard. Looking at the former home, everything was so familiar, but Lu Xianger didn't feel a trace of anger. Looking around at the same courtyard as when she left, Lu Xiang'er's mind couldn't help but think of the three years of life in Qinghe Village.
There is no way, when Lu Xianger first came to this ancient Great Zhou Dynasty, her first impression was this small farm yard in Qinghe Village. Here, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong made her feel family affection and made her understand that she still has someone to love, someone to love and someone to care about. No matter what changes Lu Xiang'er has in the future, she will always remember this courtyard.
"Xiang'er? Is it really Xiang'er? Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted Lu Xiang'er's thoughts, causing her to turn her head and see the surprised face.
Zhao Xiu was feeding the chickens in his yard, but he felt movement in the yard of the Lu family next door. Thinking about not letting the villagers make trouble in the courtyard of the Lu family, Zhao Xiu hurriedly put down the dustpan in his hand and came to the Lu family. Looking at the familiar back in the courtyard, Zhao Xiu immediately became excited and walked into the courtyard quickly.
Lu Xiang'er was also very happy when she saw Zhao Xiu, and immediately greeted her, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiu'er, I haven't seen you for more than a month, you seem to have grown taller and more beautiful." ”
"You, the little lady of the Lu family, came to tease me again." Zhao Xiu took Lu Xiang'er's hand, looked around, and said with a smile: "You won't come back by yourself, right, Aunt Lu came back with you?" ”
"My aunt didn't come back, I came back with my brother, does Sister Xiu'er miss us?" After Lu Xiang'er said this, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Xiu. Zhao Xiu's face really changed, but he quickly recovered like this, but when he spoke again, he was astringent: "Oh, you came back with Brother Hong to see my father." Unfortunately, he went into the mountains early this morning. ”
"That's not a coincidence." Lu Xiang'er sighed lightly, looked at Zhao Xiu's face, then took her hand in turn, and said, "Sister Xiu'er, my brother and I came back this time, not just to visit Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. We still have ...... to do."
As she spoke, Lu Xiang'er explained to Zhao Xiu in detail the purpose of coming to Qinghe Village today. Lu Xianger knew that Zhao Xiu was a filial woman, and she also knew that she really wanted to make some money and make some more money for the family. I thought about taking this opportunity to let Zhao Xiu make some money.
"Sister Xiu'er, I think this kind of thing is not cheaper for others, but better for people close to me. However, I'm just afraid that Sister Xiu'er has any ideas, don't think I'm ......" Lu Xiang'er was afraid that Zhao Xiu had something in her heart, so she didn't wait for Zhao Xiu to express her position, so she said her thoughts.
Zhao Xiu was the most simple peasant girl, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Xiang'er, you don't know." Since you moved to the county, Sister Yue and I have been reluctant to go up to the mountains to pick mushrooms and grapes, and we are tired of staying at home. Now you're going to hire someone to go up to the mountains and pick grapes, and we're glad we do. ”
"That's good, I'm afraid that these little things will hurt the relationship between us." Seeing that Zhao Xiu didn't seem to be lying, Lu Xiang'er smiled and was completely relieved.
Zhao Xiu also smiled when she saw Lu Xiang'er, but after thinking of something, she patted her forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot, you have all moved away, there is nothing here." Go, come with me to my house and sit down. My aunt wouldn't know how happy she would be if she knew that you were back. Xiang'er, you don't know these days, my aunt always mentions you...... Brother Hong......"
Zhao Xiu, who was pulling Lu Xiang'er out, suddenly saw Lu Hong coming over. Although she had been prepared for a long time, when she saw Lu Hong herself, she still had a sour feeling in her heart. Zhao Xiu thought that he didn't care anymore, but he didn't expect that it was just himself comforting himself.
When Lu Hong saw Zhao Xiu, his expression was also a little unnatural. Speaking of which, Zhao Xiu is also a good little lady, but he, Lu Hong, has no thoughts about Zhao Xiu. treated Zhao Xiu like a sister at the beginning, but now there is no change when I see her. It's just that Zhao Xiu is Uncle Zhao's daughter, and Lu Hong is still a little embarrassed when he sees her.
Lu Xiang'er looked at Zhao Xiu, then at Lu Hong, sighed secretly, and said to Lu Hong: "Brother, you and Steward Ye will do things here, and Sister Xiu'er and I will go to see Aunt Zhao." ”
"Alright, you go. After I have arranged things here, I will go to visit Aunt Zhao again. Lu Hong nodded, then turned his head to Ye Shun, who was watching the bustle, and introduced the former Lu family's courtyard. Zhao Xiu also lowered his head and pulled Lu Xiang'er out of the courtyard and walked towards his home.
When she arrived at Zhao's house, Aunt Zhao, who was sitting in the room embroidering a purse, was very happy when she saw Lu Xiang'er. Even Zhao Yi, who had always held a book, heard that Lu Hong was also back, so he put down the treasure book and went out to see Lu Hong. After Aunt Zhao heard about the purpose of Lu Xiang'er's brother and sister coming to Qinghe Village, she first sighed, and then decided to let the brother and sister have dinner at Zhao's house at noon. Moreover, without waiting for Lu Xiang'er to refuse, Aunt Zhao put down the work in her hand and went to the kitchen to prepare.
Because Lu Xianger and Lu Hong returned to Qinghe Village for the first time after moving away, Zhao Xiu did not follow those little ladies in the village, Xiao Langjun to go up the mountain to pick grapes. Instead, he stayed and took the initiative to talk to Lu Xiang'er. In the meantime, Zou Yue heard the news and came to Zhao's house to talk to Lu Xiang'er for a while. When it was time to have lunch, she passed by Zhao Yi with shame and went home.
After lunch, the Lu Hong brothers and sisters and Ye Shun returned to the Lu family's courtyard to prepare for the purchase of grapes. Zhao Xiu and Zou Yue also followed Lu Xiang'er and watched Lu Hong do things very freshly. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west and the Lu family's oxcart was full of baskets of grapes that Lu Xiang'er said goodbye to the Zhao family and Zou Yue.
Murazheng Niu Mancang saw that the Lu family really gave each grape picker the corresponding copper coins as he said before, and happily took the initiative to send Ye Shun and Lu Hong brothers and sisters out of Qinghe Village. Moreover, he also took the initiative to set a time for Lu Hong to come next time, and took care of all the matters after that.
In fact, Mura Zheng Niu Mancang didn't need to be so thoughtful, all because Ye Shun came with him today, which made him understand the relationship between the Lu family and the county again. Niu Mancang was a little glad that he did not offend the Lu family, but he also regretted that he did not take the initiative to stop the Lu family from moving out of Qinghe Village when the Lu family was discussed by the villagers. Fortunately, the Lu family took a fancy to the grapes on the two mountains near Qinghe Village, which allowed him to intersect with the Lu family again, and also gave him the opportunity to pull in the relationship with the county.
"Steward Ye, thank you so much for bothering you to run today." Lu Hong knew that it was all because of Ye Shun that it was so smooth today, so he took the initiative to thank him after leaving Qinghe Village.
Ye Shun knew that Niu Mancang was so respectful to him, and it was also because of Ye Feng's face, and he didn't make too bold and subtle excuses. This made Lu Hong's good impression of him gradually rise, and he kept talking to Ye Shun. Lu Xiang'er listened to the small talk between the two, and calculated how many jars of wine could be made from grapes on the ox cart.
