"What do you mean?" Xiaoyun really didn't know what dumb riddle the two of them were playing.

Cheng Qing shook his head and sighed: "You don't have to be like this, Xiaoyun is enough to serve me alone." ”

"That slave guards the door for Childe." Liu Niansi did not retreat at all, and his tone became more firm.

"My yard is small, so I don't need a gatekeeper."

"What the son lets the slave do, the slave will do, the person who is born is the child, and the death is the ghost of the child, and the slave will follow the son for the rest of his life."

Cheng Qing kept looking at Liu Niansi who was kneeling on the ground, and had a plan in his heart, he stood up, helped Liu Niansi up, and said: "Then keep it, don't want you to be a cow or a horse, you can just help when Xiaoyun is too busy." ”

Liu Niansi was overjoyed: "Thank you, son, thank you..."

"Don't call me a son, just call me Brother Cheng as before, and don't call yourself a slave, I'm not a high-ranking son, I'm just a common person."

"But..."

"But I'm going to drive you away."

"Got it, Brother Cheng."

Liu Niansi officially stayed, although Xiaoyun didn't know anything about it, but he was still very happy about a good friend. Liu Niansi often played in Cheng's house, and he didn't need Xiaoyun's introduction, he basically knew all the places in Cheng's house, and he adapted smoothly.

He often takes care of his father at home, and he is also very handy at cleaning, cooking, and washing vegetables, Xiaoyun has a good helper, Cheng Qing looked at the harmony of the family, and let go, just thinking that he had done a good deed.

However, Cheng Qing's sudden appearance of taking out two hundred taels of silver was quickly spread by the people in the village, it was not that the people in the village were troublesome, it was just that Shuang'er of unknown origin could take out two hundred taels of silver at once to help others, how could he not doubt him?

There are people who are suspicious, but there are many people who have their own thoughts, just for half a month, the door of Cheng Qing's house has not stopped from morning to night, at first Cheng Qing greeted him with a smile, but in the back, Cheng Qing simply pretended to be sick and lay on the bed and refused to see guests.

What family is in trouble, what two sons and daughters need some help to get married, what old man is sick and has no money to see a doctor, Cheng Qing refused, saying that he did not help Liu Niansi for free, but Liu Niansi sold it to their family as a servant.

But who would believe it? The people who came and went one after another, and the door of Cheng Qing's house was about to be knocked down.

Xiaoyun rejected another group of people, she returned to the house exhausted, and said to the son who was lying on the bed without desire: "Childe, why are there so many people in our house?" There is an endless stream of coming and going, some people have come and don't know how many times, I am tired of watching it, they must come, what do you say they are asking for? ”

"What can you ask for? It's not asking for wealth or asking for people, and I'm not Guanyin in the world, I can't control so many people! Cheng Qing was also upset, he liked to be quiet, but he was disturbed by so many people, no matter how good-tempered people were, he couldn't stand it, but he was not a good-tempered person.

Liu Niansi, who was passing by the door, entered the door and said guiltily: "I'm sorry Brother Cheng, it's all my fault that made you suffer." ”

"It's good to get through this for a while, they will definitely not have so much thought in a few days, and they know my thoughts, so they won't bother me anymore." Cheng Qing waved his hand and said indifferently: "You go and do your own things first." ”

Liu Niansi nodded, it is useless to say more, it is better to do more things to make up for his guilt, he left the house and walked to another room, since he went home, Cheng Qing handed him the cloth bought in Xiaoyun Town, and asked him to make a few clothes according to the size given by Xiaoyun, and two or three clothes were not done, he had to hurry out.

After Liu Niansi left, Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward and sat on the side of the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed, and said curiously: "Childe, I feel that I understand a little, but I don't understand very well, Childe tell me!" ”

"Whether you understand it or not, things have already happened, there is no need to understand so much, let's go, let's go, you go and do other things, don't disturb me reading."

"Don't, Childe tell me, I want to know, really, really want to know..."

Cheng Qing glanced at Xiaoyun lying on the side, Xiaoyun's eyes were shining, and the desire to learn was revealed in her eyes.

"Okay." Cheng Qing closed the book and said, "Do you think I'm ruthless and unwilling to save Niansi?" If I can do it silently, let alone two hundred taels of silver, I will give two thousand taels of silver. But the village is so small, and there are so many people, I can't control other people's mouths, I took two hundred taels of silver today to save Niansi, tomorrow someone will need me to use a few hundred taels of silver to save him, although I have money, but my money can't be spent like this. People's desires are limitless, and they won't stop, so I don't dare to act rashly, because if I'm not careful, things will be the same as now, and I have already gone through the situation in my head. ”

Xiaoyun didn't expect things to turn out like this, especially since she was really angry with her son, angry that he didn't save people, and angry that he stood by. But she didn't expect that there would be such a big twist and turn behind this matter, and the non-stop crowd today was all provoked because Childe saved Niansi.

"Childe, Xiaoyun knows that he is wrong..."Xiaoyun knelt down on the side of his feet and sincerely apologized: "Childe, it was Xiaoyun who misunderstood you somehow, I'm sorry, Childe." ”

Cheng Qing shook his head: "It's okay, you are still young, you don't understand some things, take your time, I will teach you slowly." You can also learn to think, he thinks more than you, otherwise he would not come to our house and be willing to be my slave. ”

It is not so much that he gave two hundred taels of silver for free, but that he used two hundred taels of silver to buy the freedom of thinking for a lifetime.

may lose his freedom in the future, but Liu Niansi will still choose Cheng Qing without hesitation, because he knows that Cheng Qing will not hurt him, and marrying Master Jiang is far less than being a servant in Cheng Qing's family.

However, Xiaoyun still has a question: "Childe, but at that time, didn't Xiaoshan already tell us that Xiaoshan's father would marry Niansi?" I believe that Xiaoshan's father will not bully Niansi, in that case, why do you want to stop this marriage? ”

"Do you think I'm trying to stop this marriage?" Cheng Qing said: "You don't understand Niansi, although Niansi is gentle and kind, but I know that he is a very tough person, and what he can accept is the contribution of both parties, not unilateral assistance." Wang Zhili didn't marry Nian Si because he was happy, he just wanted to repay the kindness, repay the life-saving grace of Nian Si back then, if Nian Si didn't know about it, it would be fine, but once Nian Si knew, Nian Si would definitely do something stupid, and he would regret it when the time came, so I absolutely can't allow such a thing to happen around me. That's why I will help, to be honest, if Nian Si really can't think about it, it will not only affect the Liu family in the end. ”

At this time, Xiaoyun really thought clearly, and sighed that the son was thoughtful, and his admiration for him was indescribable.

Just as she was about to say something, there was another knock at the door, Xiaoyun's face changed instantly, she shouted impatiently, stood up and opened the door.

Cheng Qing shook his head slightly, then picked up the book and continued to read.

"My son-in-law is sick and lying in bed, unable to see guests, if you have something to ask for, please go back." Xiaoyun didn't even want to open the door, and said directly to the people outside.

"Sister Xiaoyun, I'm Xiaoshan."

"Huh? Hill? Xiaoyun opened the door in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Xiaoshan standing at the door, smiling.

Xiaoyun was also pleasantly surprised: "Come, come in, Xiaoshan, why are you here?" ”

Wang Xiaoshan also entered the door happily, he looked around and asked, "Is Brother Niansi here?" ”

"Yes, you're here to find Brother Niansi? He seems to be in the backyard house, I'm going to call it for you? ”

"No need, no need, I'm here to find Aunt Cheng Shuang." Xiaoshan hurriedly grabbed Xiaoyun who was about to turn around and go to Niansi, and said with a smile: "My father said that there are some things he wants to tell Aunt Cheng Shuang, I just heard Sister Xiaoyun say that Aunt Cheng Shuang is sick, is it serious?" Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? ”

"So concerned about your Aunt Chengshuang?" Cheng Qing was in the house, originally wanted to continue reading, but he heard Xiaoshan's voice, so he simply put down his shoes on the study bed and went to the yard to see Xiaoshan.

"Aunt Cheng Shuang!" Xiaoshan stepped forward and said excitedly, "Why are you sick?" What did the doctor say? ”

"Liar, Aunt Cheng is so powerful, how can she get sick?" Cheng Qing pulled Xiaoshan to sit down: "I'm all liaring, I've been in trouble at home recently, and I don't want to see guests, so I just tell them I'm sick, so I don't have to meet guests." ”

"Oh, it's fine." Xiaoshan didn't care at all why he was deceiving people, he was just worried about Aunt Cheng's body, and he was relieved to know that it was okay.

"Xiaoyun, didn't there be a few salty crackers left at home yesterday? Bring it to the hill to taste. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Xiaoshan heard that there was something delicious, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and when Cheng Qing saw it, he also smiled: "What are you doing with me today?" I just heard that your father wants you to come to me, what's the matter? ”

"Oh yes, I almost forgot." Xiaoshan smiled wryly: "My father said, Aunt Cheng, the cabbage grown in your field should be replanted, if you don't hurry up, the cabbage will be bad." ”

Cheng Qing has really forgotten in the past half a month, the ground that he was thinking about every day half a month ago has disappeared in the troubles of this half month, and he doesn't know what the hell the hell is in the ground now.

"Already grown?"

"Mmmm, I've also been to see it, and it looks good, so I have to hurry up and replant, otherwise we will all get together, and it will be really troublesome."

"Your dad told you to tell me?"

"Uh-huh."

"I know, I'll go tomorrow."

Xiaoshan went home with the salted cake, Cheng Qing turned his head and said to Xiaoyun: "I'm going to go to the field tomorrow, come early in the morning and wake me up." ”

"Eh, okay."
