Chapter 50: Talent
The golden wind is cool, and the autumn sun is shining.
In the paddy fields, only the dried yellow wheat stubble after harvest remains, waiting to burn the fertile fields. Birds chirp and jump around to snatch the fallen ears of wheat with voles in preparation for the winter.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves clattered, and a small team walked on the straight official road.
The first is two middle-aged men, and the last is also two men.
Among them, a tall and thin boy led an old horse, and immediately sat an elderly woman on her side, and behind the horse sat a little girl, holding an oil-paper umbrella to shield her from the harsh sun.
She looks like a landlord's wife and travels with a house slave.
After a while, when he reached the three-way intersection, the young man pulled the horse, and the "landlord's wife" spoke.
"Alright, let's get it here, we'll turn around and we'll be on the dock, so don't take the wrong road in vain. If you continue like this, I'll have to take care of your food money for a day! ”
Everyone was a little embarrassed, and the little girl behind the horse smiled like a flower.
"Uncle Ye, don't send it away, or you won't be able to get to the next town after dark, so you can only sleep in the wilderness. I am not afraid that the wolf will take it, if I get sick after soaking in autumn dew, how can I be good? ”
This group of people is Mei Niang and Ye Cheng.
Originally, Ye Cheng had planned to leave, but he temporarily learned that Aunt Qiu and the others wanted to go to Wucheng. I was afraid that they would be old and young and that it would not be safe on the road, so I deliberately waited a few more days to give them a ride.
It's just that they are thrifty, they are reluctant to eat or drink along the way, and they can't go all the way with people like Aunt Qiu who never want to wronged themselves.
Aunt Qiu had to add a few buns or side dishes to them at each meal, so that she could take the beautiful girl Zheng Feiyang to eat something good with peace of mind.
That's it, they always think it's broken.
Fortunately, Qiu Gu got an official deed from nowhere, and took everyone on the official road, and the trip was much faster.
In just two days, they were sent to the dock, and they saw that it was densely populated and very safe, and there was really no need to send them again.
The beautiful lady handed over the gifts to Ye Cheng from the horse, asked each other to cherish them, and waved goodbye.
As soon as the beauties left, these men talked about her.
Now the mother-in-law at home has touched her mind, and she cried and told me a few times that she wanted to buy a decent dowry for her daughter. I have a lot of children, and the house is not enough to live in, so she doesn't fight, she just wants to buy two acres of thin land for her daughter. ”
"My mother-in-law said the same thing. Just counting on making more money this time, I'm a girl. Even if the eldest is married, if it is given to her sister, is it embarrassing not to give it to her? ”
"I'm going to make money this time, so I'll rip up the broken house at home and rebuild it, and then a girl will leave one! The children were angry in the future, and they had no place to go back. ”
Everyone talked lively, and asked Ye Cheng whether he wanted to buy a house or land for his daughter.
Ye Cheng smiled and refused to say, "Let's talk about it when we make money." ”
But he has a vague goal in his heart, can't he buy a field and build a house for his daughter?
That's tough!
Looking at the three fellow villagers who were talking and laughing, Ye Cheng also felt happy in his heart.
I had to discuss it with Meiniang at the time and help him think thoughtfully. When I turned around and talked about it, a few brothers who used to think it was good were actually exposed.
Some people are timid, afraid that they will not be able to earn money after spending the travel fee, which means that they have to let Ye Cheng pay compensation.
Some people just want to take advantage of it, let him borrow it first, and then pay it back.
There are also people who are not convinced that Ye Cheng, an honest man, has become a foreman and wants to squeeze him down.
On the contrary, these three people had very good ideas, and they were not verbose, and they quickly borrowed the coil and went on the road with him.
No wonder Aunt Qiu said that she lived to be old and learned.
He is middle-aged, and he has a taste for these people.
Suddenly, I remembered that the beautiful girl didn't let him wait, but in the end he agreed again. I'm afraid I'm not at ease, I want to follow and take a look.
Thinking like this, Ye Cheng smiled again.
This little girl is really weird and painful. I hope they and themselves can do well.
A group of fathers looked forward to it and quickened their pace.
And over there, Aunt Qiu pinched her nose and asked Zheng Feiyang to buy a few steamed buns and baked cakes, and she was about to get on the boat.
The condition of the wharf is indeed not very good, although it is lively, but the crowd is mostly peddlers and pawns. And pick up chickens, drive pigs, and the smell is tangy.
Therefore, there is no decent restaurant, they are all small food stalls, things are expensive and not good-looking, and flies are flying all over the sky.
Afraid that Aunt Qiu wouldn't be able to eat it for a while, Meiniang went to buy a few tea eggs and a few roasted taro to prepare.
Aunt Qiu looked at it, and her face was a little softer. This girl is really careful, and she takes care of her along the way, which is really comfortable.
After a while, they got on the boat first, and Zheng Feiyang sent the old horse that he finally asked for back from his mother to the bottom of the cattle and tied it up. Because the ship was afraid that the livestock would have a lot of dung, they could not give them fodder, so they could only feed them with some water, so they went to the deck to look for them.
Fortunately, although there are many goods on this ship, there are not many guests, and they don't have to spend more money, so they occupy a small cabin.
The beautiful lady asked for hot water, took her own tea leaves to make a cup for Aunt Qiu, smelled the tea, Aunt Qiu was finally not so uncomfortable.
Before the boat left, several people hurriedly ate. I'm afraid that if I get seasick after a while, I won't be able to eat anything.
But I don't know if I was in a hurry, or if I was tired on the road, Aunt Qiu ate a taro and two tea eggs, and before the boat drove for a while, she vomited it all.
Zheng Feiyang hurriedly opened the window, the river breeze was slightly cool, and it was better to blow. But the river wind swirled again, sometimes mixed with the smell of livestock underneath rushing up, and Aunt Qiu vomited when she smelled it.
After only half an hour on the boat, she even vomited out the yellow bile water, and the whole person was dying.
The beautiful girl was so anxious that she asked the guy, saying that Wucheng would have to wait for the sun to set at least, and it would be nearly two hours.
What can I do?
The guy has experience, so let's find something to distract her.
Zheng Feiyang had an idea, found more than a dozen small teacups, took the water, and knocked them with bamboo chopsticks.
"It was raining that day, and I saw that my aunt also teased the dog like this, and it sounded weird, do you want to try it again?"
Aunt Qiu shook her hands and barely raised a trace of her eyelids, "You, are you actually going to be angry with me?" Those who are incomplete, get out! ”
Zheng Feiyang saw that she still had the strength to scold, but she put her mind at ease, "Auntie doesn't like to listen to me, sister Meiniang will try." ”
Where would a beautiful girl do this?
However, she seemed to instinctively know that some sounds were not good, and after a few knocks, she poured some water out or added some water.
Slowly, this slip knocked on again, and it was a little interesting.
Aunt Qiu suddenly closed her eyes and said, "Pour out a trace of water in the first teacup, two threads in the second cup, and add a few more points in the third cup......"
What is the concept of this thread?
Zheng Feiyang is incompetent in understanding.
But after the beautiful girl tried the cups one by one, she slipped over again, and there was actually a tune.
She also doesn't understand the rhythm of music, so she knocks randomly by her temperament. But Zheng Feiyang felt that it sounded much better than his own random knocking.
Aunt Qiu suddenly raised her eyelids again and glanced at the beautiful girl.
