197 Half-truths

It was the coachman who sent them back this time, and this time there was no Chen Ning, Sheng Qingqing finally left him to drink a pot of tea.

Of course, Sheng Qingqing is very untreatable, and this time the tea is also mixed with a little spring water, but it is a little more "pure" than the pots for Chen Ning to drink.

At least Chen Ning could feel the improvement of the scars on his face after drinking the tea, while the coachman could only feel that he was in better spirits after drinking a large bowl of tea.

"The girl's tea is so delicious!" The coachman admired, he didn't know how to speak, but said dryly: "Take a sip of tea, from here to here!" ”

His hand moved from his throat to his stomach and from his stomach to his head.

"If it's good, drink more." Sheng Qingqing poured him another glass.

The coachman also wanted to drink more, but this time he didn't need to wait, he needed to go back home as soon as possible, so he couldn't stay longer, so he could only look at the pot of tea with regret. He thought that it would be great if he could take a sip of tea and refresh himself when he was tired.

But I'm so embarrassed to even eat and take.

Sheng Qingqing saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "This is easy to do." ”

The coachman carried the water bladder with her, so she poured the water from the bladder and refilled it with tea. A water bladder can hold a whole pot of tea, save a little to drink, and you can drink it for a few days. What's more, the weather is still cool, so you don't have to worry about the water spoiling.

"This, I don't know how to thank you." The coachman is a responsible person, and he said continuously: "In the future, when Miss Sheng wants to use the car, she can summon me." ”

Although the carriage belongs to the Cheng family, Cheng Qinghe is not very strict with the discipline of his subordinates, if the coachman wants to use the carriage to make some extra money, he generally turns a blind eye, as long as he does not delay the affairs of the master's family. That's why the coachman has the confidence to say so.

This was a surprise for Sheng Qingqing.

"Then thank you, uncle!"

For Sheng Siming, she will definitely have to go back and forth with Cheng's family in Shengjia Village often in the future, and it would be great if an acquaintance helped pick her up.

The two said a few more polite words, the coachman needed to rush back to Cheng's house as soon as possible, it was not good to stay for a long time, and he said goodbye and drove away after a while.

Sheng Qingqing watched him leave, and after closing the courtyard door, he turned around and went to the backyard.

As for Sheng Zhizhi, she just got out of the car before, and she didn't even enter the door, so she hugged her bunch of small toys and ran to show off with her friends. Sheng Qingqing didn't bother to care about this leather child, he was in the village left and right, and nothing happened.

Since the seeds were hurriedly planted in the backyard a few days ago, Sheng Qingqing has not taken care of these seeds since then. The two children in the family don't know anything about planting, and it's not bad if they don't help, and it's impossible to manage the plants on this half acre of land in the backyard.

If ordinary people were so casual and casual, most of those seeds would definitely die.

But when Sheng Qingqing came to the backyard today, she was pleasantly surprised to find that those seeds had already sprouted! The emerald green grew and swayed slowly in the breeze, and the buds were soft and lovely, and they were very pleasing to look at.

"That's great!"

Sheng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, when she planted it before, most of them had the attitude of Sima being a live horse doctor, and she didn't expect to plant all these seeds alive for the first time.

But it seems that the space spring water is really amazing, even if there is no fertilizer on this land, it can make the plants on the land grow very strong. Or is it because the seeds are soaked in spring water for a period of time before they are planted?

Sheng Qingqing touched her chin and thought thoughtfully, "I just don't know if the melons, fruits and vegetables that grow will also have the effect of spring water." ”

If those fruits and vegetables can have the effect of spring water, even if it is only a slight, it will be a great joy. Then she doesn't have to bother injecting spring water into the existing melons and fruits in the future, just send these melons, fruits and vegetables directly to the Cheng family. Anyway, in the previous transaction between Cheng Qinghe and her, there was no stipulation on the curative effect of "immortal things", even if there was only a trace of healing power, it was also "immortal things"!

Sheng Qingqing pit Cheng Qinghe in her heart.

She stretched out her hand and carefully brushed the buds in front of her, and her heart was very satisfied. And he saw that the soil in the field seemed to be a little dry.

Because she was worried that the two children would harm the land, Sheng Qingqing ordered them not to come to the backyard, so in the past three or four days, the backyard has not even been watered once.

Sheng Qingqing hurriedly took some spring water from the space, mixed it with the stream water, and sprinkled it evenly on the ground. Then under each sprout, an extra scoop of water was poured over it.

I learned this from Uncle Niu, and I heard that it is a good recipe for farming.

After absorbing the diluted spring water, those young shoots seemed to be more crisp and green, Sheng Qingqing looked very happy, thinking about whether to go to Uncle Niu to learn a little bit of skills.

Her three-legged cat's farming ability, even if there is spring water, is worried that the land will be damaged.

Just as she was thinking about it, Sheng Qingqing heard someone outside shouting her name.

"Here we go!"

Sheng Qingqing hurried to the gate of the courtyard in a few steps, and sure enough, she saw an acquaintance.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." She couldn't help but laugh.

Second Uncle Niu was a little dazed, "Miss Qing, what are you talking about?" ”

Sheng Qingqing said with a smile: "I was thinking of you, but I didn't expect you to come, second uncle." ”

Second Uncle Niu scratched his head, "Hey, I happened to be looking for you too." ”

"Looking for me?" Sheng Qingqing was surprised and invited him into the courtyard.

It is the time when the farm is busy, and the people in the village are racing against time to work in the field, wanting to take advantage of the good time to do more farm work, so that there can be a good harvest this year, at this time, Uncle Niu has nothing to do with her?

Sheng Qingqing is quite self-aware, there are no good things in their family, and she doesn't have any ability to make Second Uncle Niu ask her for help, so it is quite strange to see Second Uncle Niu coming to her.

"Second uncle, are you here to borrow silver?"

Their family is relatively poor now, but in the eyes of outsiders, she still has a little money in her hands. So after thinking about it, Sheng Qingqing also thought of "borrowing money".

Second Uncle Niu waved his hand, "Hey, I'm looking for you to borrow some money, your family is difficult enough." ”

He said it very bluntly, and he was not worried that Sheng Qingqing would be angry.

Sheng Qingqing was indeed not angry, she was not such a cautious person, not to mention that what Second Uncle Niu said was also true. Although she still has a few hundred taels of silver on her, their house is dilapidated like this, and there are still bits and pieces of things to be added and replaced. What's more, now Sheng Siming also goes to school.

Going to school is the most expensive thing, so most of her hundreds of taels of silver have to be kept for Sheng Siming for emergencies.

After such careful calculation, it is really not enough to have a lot of money.

"Then what are you ......" Sheng Qingqing was puzzled.

Looking at the mysterious appearance of Second Uncle Niu, I really can't guess what he is going to do.

Second Uncle Niu probed his brain, looking really mysterious, and he lowered his voice, "Miss Qing, the carriage just now belongs to the Cheng family, right?" ”

Sheng Qingqing sighed in her heart, her face was still silent, and she even poured a cup of tea for Second Uncle Niu, but she said tentatively: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

She smiled and explained half-truthfully: "Because of the previous incident, I have some friendship with Young Master Cheng. It just so happened that I wanted to choose a teacher for Siming, so I asked Young Master Cheng to help. Young Master Cheng is easy to speak, and Siming will be fortunate to study in the Cheng family's ethnology in the future. ”

In these years, big families with more savings and villages with the same surname will have clan studies, which is convenient for the children in the clan to go to school, and it is also a matter of honoring the ancestors and benefiting the township in the future.

Like Wen Xiucai in the next village, his enlightenment was in the ethnology of their village.

Shengjia Village originally also had ethnography, but later for some reasons, people with foreign surnames entered, and there were no people who could "shine on the lintel" for several generations, and there were fewer and fewer rich families in the village, so over time, ethnology could not be done.

After all, even if the gentleman in the clan can enlighten the child for free, then the study after enlightenment, the examination of Xiucai and even Jinshi, which requires a huge amount of money, will need to be paid by his own family. People who don't have money can't afford to study.

Second Uncle Niu heard Sheng Qingqing mention ethnology and Sheng Siming at this time, and his first reaction was, "Siming is going to school?" That's really good, Siming, this kid is smart when he is young, we all say that if there is anyone in the village who can make a difference in the future, it must be Siming. ”

Sheng Qingqing was not modest, but nodded in response: "Yes, I also think that Siming is extraordinary, and I don't want to waste his qualifications." ”

Speaking of such a major event as "reading", Second Uncle Niu suddenly had no mood to investigate what carriage was not carriage, and sighed repeatedly: "Exactly, there are many smart children, but they have been delayed a lot." ”

Why was it delayed?

Because I don't have any money.

Second Uncle Niu thought of this, "Miss Qing, Siming has gone to school, and the need is huge, do you lack money?" ”

"No, no, no." Sheng Qingqing said half-truthfully: "Young Master Cheng is kind, knowing that my family is in difficulty and can't come up with too much money, so he allowed me to exchange melons, fruits and vegetables for bundles. ”

Apprenticeship requires restraint, which is still a lot of money.

Sheng Qingqing had actually prepared it before, and the venison and pork she bought in the town, as well as a few rolls of fabric, were all ready to be used as bunchs. But I never expected that in the end, I couldn't even find a gentleman, and the things she bought still exist in the space.

Cheng Qinghe definitely doesn't look down on these "bits and pieces", all he wants is "immortals".

Second Uncle Niu didn't know about the transaction between her and Cheng Qinghe, and when he heard that Cheng Qinghe only took some fruits and vegetables, he felt that this was really a good person.

"I saw that Young Master Cheng had a handsome face that was not like a mortal, he must be a high-minded and arrogant person, but I didn't expect him to be so kind-hearted." Second Uncle Niu sighed repeatedly.
