Chapter Fifty-Seven: Recruiting the Village
Hongzhi decided to ask Qi Younian directly. Although Ye Xinyan used to be prominent, as a prince, he also had to sell the face of the old man of An Guogong. But now Ye Xinyan escaped from the Anguo Mansion and is a young woman with no identity, even if she has scruples, she has made a lot of discounts.
He put down the small wooden wheel in his hand and said, "Don't tell the old man, this time, although I mainly ask you about the rice tofu method, there are other things." ”
Ye Xinyan pursed her lips, she had something to say, and she went around in such a big circle, isn't this an appetite?
Qi Younian saw that Hongzhi was going to talk about things seriously, so he hurriedly corrected his attitude and solemnly agreed: "Although the little brother has something to say, as long as the little old man is within his ability, he will not dare to shirk." Brother, please sit down and talk. ”
Hirochi sat back in his chair and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Didn't the sixth master take your grandson's origami today? The sixth master went back to open it and found that there was an inexplicable pattern drawn on the paper, but the picture was incomplete, so the sixth master came over and asked, what was drawn on the sketch? Who drew it? ”
After speaking, he looked at Qi Younian with a smile, waiting for Qi Younian to tell him the answer, so that he could go back and get a reward in front of the sixth master.
The sixth master just asked him to make an excuse casually and secretly see if the Qi family had any clues about the sketch, so as to judge what it was.
If he came here, not only would he figure out that the sketch was a bicycle for children, but he would also know who drew the sketch, wouldn't he have overfulfilled the errand assigned by the sixth master?
Thinking of the reward after the sixth master was satisfied, the smile on Hongzhi's face deepened.
Ye Xinyan, who was doing things at the door of the room, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around and went back to the house. Nima, as far as it goes? It's just such a little, and it makes such a miasma, and she worries half to death.
Qi Younian didn't expect Hongzhi to hide and ask, but it was actually for a child's plaything. The old man said helplessly: "The sketch was drawn by Xiao Lao'er's granddaughter, and the painting is the bicycle made by Xiao Lao'er." ”
Although Hongzhi had conjectures, Qi Younian said it himself, which still surprised him. Can the eldest lady of the Ye family really draw such a picture? Aren't these kinds of things and patterns the work of craftsmen?
However, Ye Xinyan, who left the Anguo Mansion, had already surprised him several times, and it made no difference if he had more than once or less yet. As for the truth of the matter, it is not something that he, a little guy, can discern it, let the sixth master think about it himself.
So, Hongzhi didn't dwell on this matter, and then salivated and tentatively said: "Then ...... the picture of your bicycle?" ”
This is not good, Qi Younian immediately understood what Hongzhi meant, and said: "Little brother, forgive me, the little old man of the bicycle is still being made, and this picture will have to be used for a few days." ”
didn't get the picture, and Hongzhi didn't regret it, his errand had already been done, so he wouldn't stay longer. After sitting for a while, he got up and took his leave.
As soon as Hongzhi walked on the front foot, the people in the village who were paying attention to the movement in the second room of the Qi family came in one after another to talk and gossip, mostly asking who this unusually dressed young man was? Isn't the status very noble?
Qinghe Village doesn't seem to have such a decent person, and it's no wonder that the people in the village are curious about what this decent young man is doing when he comes to Qi Younian's house.
For a while, in the small courtyard of the Qi family, more than a dozen men and women poured in, and they found Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan to talk to each other.
A middle-aged peasant woman lived closest to the second room of the Qi family, so she came over first, pulled Ye Xinyan's sleeve and asked, "Ye Zi, who is that young man?" It looks very magnificent, looks handsome, it's not an ordinary kid, right? Did I come to see you? ”
While asking, the peasant woman's curious eyes looked at Ye Xinyan round and round, how uncomfortable it was to look at that look. The meaning of the words will not be good no matter how you listen to it.
This is too disrespectful of people's faces, right? Ye Xinyan stared at the peasant woman for a long time, endured and endured, and then laughed, pulled her sleeve back from the peasant woman's hand, and said, "Auntie said that I am just an ordinary farmer's abandoned woman, and I will never dare to think about such a person with status." "This imagination and passion for gossip is no one.
The peasant woman suddenly said, "Oh yes." Then, he became interested again, "Ye Zi, your appearance is also outstanding, maybe people take a fancy to you as a concubine?" ”
That's too much! Ye Xinyan sank her face, "Auntie be cautious!" My family is very good, so I don't have that idea. I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't care about greeting my aunt, please come back! ”
The peasant woman didn't care about what she said too much, but she was annoyed by Ye Xinyan's words to chase away customers, so she was immediately unwilling.
She saw that Qi Younian was surrounded by several peasants, and she couldn't bother to come here for a while, so she sneered: "Why don't you know what to do with this woman?" Auntie, I'm for your good, just an unidentified abandoned woman like you, it's good if someone wants you, where can you pay attention to the size of the wife? While someone wants it now, it's good to find someone to live in quickly. ”
"Poof." Han and Zhang listened on the side, and one of them couldn't hold back and laughed. Well, the two of them didn't hold back, they deliberately laughed out loud.
The two of them entered the door together with the people who inquired about things in the village, and when they saw that the famous long-tongued woman in the village pulled Ye Xinyan as soon as they entered the door, the two did not come forward to solve the siege, but only watched the jokes on the side.
Sure enough, after a few words, the woman's mouth began to say something unpleasant.
The Han family didn't like the people in the second room, but when they came to inquire about rice tofu that day, they were pushed back by Ye Xinyan, and they were really annoyed. At this time, listening to Ye Xinyan being squeezed out, I couldn't tell how happy I was.
Zhang's here feels that he has a reason to look at the second room unpleasantly. For the sake of a stupid child who has no mother, these people in the second room showed their faces together. The cakes that were originally promised to be delivered every day were gone, and their three children were hung pitifully.
And this leaf of unknown origin is just an abandoned woman who doesn't know how to live her life in the future, but she doesn't know anything about herself. I look like I'm high all day long, and I don't know who to show it! But who do you think is rare when you eat a few cakes that can't be sold by his family? Bah!
His own family takes good care of the good children who grew up, and he almost drools over a few broken cakes every day. And the fool who changed his name is delicious and fun in the second room, and he has what he wants. What's even more infuriating is that the fool suddenly has a lot of fun things, and the children in the village can play, but his two children cannot.
The damned abandoned woman didn't shy away from scolding her son at all, not letting him get close to the fool in her house. It's just a fool, you can survive drinking swill for so many years, is it so precious?
The Zhang family was so jealous that they would naturally not let go of the opportunity to ridicule Ye Xinyan.
Ye Xinyan heard someone laughing loudly, and her eyes swept over coldly. Sure enough, it was the two dearest aunts who made the sneer.
