Because the room is a big kang, and the farmhouse is inconvenient, this time you can put two maidservants in the house, and the peaches and cherries are left.

Listening to Li Yuanyuan's call, the cherry that was being swept put down the basin and walked over, she looked at her paper and said, "Lady, have you written here?" The maid asked when she was eating, and it was called Stone Trench Village. ”

Stone Trench Village?

Li Yuyuan frowned slightly: "How do I feel like I've heard it somewhere?" ”

Cherry smiled: "The lady has never been out of the territory of the three counties, where have you heard of it?" You read the books, right? ”

Li Yu said: "I don't know, it's just that this name is quite familiar." ”

Momoko said on the side: "Shiqiao Village is nothing special, maybe many villages are called that, so the lady feels familiar." ”

Li Yu said from afar: "It should be like this." ”

As he spoke, Li Yuyuan wrote the name of Shihao Village in his notebook, and then wrote a very emotional article with the technique of Fu Bixing.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Li Yuyuan looked up at the two maidservants, and Cherry put down the clothes she was folding in her hand and went to the door to open the door.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yuyuan heard the voice of the cherry and turned his gaze over, and saw that it was the old woman of this family standing at the door with a large bowl.

Listening to Cherry's question, the woman said: "The little grandson is hungry, so he cooked a bowl of rough noodles, and the concubine saw that the light in the lady's room was on, so she came to ask the lady if she wanted to eat it." ”

I made it for his grandson, and by the way, I asked my own lady.

Cherry will be skeptical of the old woman's words.

But no matter what, Li Yuyuan can't just eat what others give.

Cherry thanked and said: "The lady is about to sleep, thank you Grandma, the lady doesn't eat before going to bed." ”

The woman didn't say anything, but said, "Then please rest well." ”

Turning around and about to leave, Li Yuyuan hurriedly shouted, "Grandma, please stay." ”

Then he called Cherry: "Bring Grandma in." ”

Cherry looked at the bowl of noodles with a look of embarrassment, their lady seemed to have a gluttonous worm in her stomach, let the woman go in and definitely eat noodles, what if someone poisoned her?

Li Yuyuan didn't give her much time to think, and raised her voice and said, "Why are you standing still?" ”

Cherry pursed her lips and quickly brought the person in.

Li Yuyuan looked at the rough noodles that the woman said, the earthy gray noodles, but the soup noodles were shiny, and there were marinades made of dried meat on them, which smelled meaty.

Li Yuyuan couldn't help but leave saliva, and she asked, "Grandma, our weather is smooth, and our life is okay?" ”

The woman smiled bitterly and said: "The wind and rain are smooth, but the grain was pulled away by the officials as soon as it was beaten, and there was nothing left, and in the evening, the handsome Lang Jun gave the concubine a consistent money, and the concubine asked the people in the village who had surplus grain to change the noodles and cheeks, I don't know if it suits the appetite of the lady." ”

Li Yuyuan was slightly stunned and said: "So this side was bought because Xiao Erlang gave Grandma accommodation money?" Then why don't you keep it for yourself? ”

The woman's face was shy, and then she shook her head: "The concubine is a poor body, and she can't get used to it, do you use it?" ”

Cherry saw Li Yuyuan's lips, and said busily: "Grandma, you can use the bowl of noodles you finally got, my lady is going to rest." ”

The woman was really reluctant, seeing that Li Yuanyuan had an extraordinary status, so she deliberately did it for Li Yuanyuan, and she didn't know what her purpose was, anyway, she felt that the little lady was different from her, and she had to take good care of her.

This is a servile habit that the working people have long been oppressed and cultivated.

So she didn't feel anything wrong with herself, but she was afraid that others would say that she had a purpose.

Listening to Cherry's impatient tone, it seemed to understand something.

She was embarrassed and muttered: "Also, how could the lady look in front of us people, the concubine was reckless and disturbed the lady." ”

After saying that, I have to leave again.

Li Yu saw that although she was a peasant woman, her eyes were also very frightened and evasive, as if she had never seen anything in the world, but her words were clear, her words were cautious and soft, and she felt very comfortable.

She said, "Thank you, Grandma, for helping me put it on the table." ”

So saying, she cleaned up the clutter on the kang table, put a used paper, and asked the woman to put the bowl up.

When the woman saw that she was going to eat, her cheeks flushed with joy, and she gently laid the bowl on the table.

Cherry and Peach were in a hurry and called the lady.

Li Yuyuan shook his head secretly, Xiao Miao is such a cautious person, if this woman has a problem, how can he let her stay in this family's house, so the people in this courtyard can be trusted.

Li Yuyuan tasted a bite of noodles, there was no pepper, not choking enough, not spicy enough, not his favorite taste, but savoring it, there is also a kind of chewiness, not unpalatable.

She looked up at the woman as if she were approving.

When the woman saw that she was happy to eat, she smiled with peace of mind.

Li Yuyuan lowered his head and took a bite again, rolled his eyes, then raised his head and asked, "Grandma, your yard is really big, it's very hard to clean up, right?" ”

The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and she shook her head and said, "No, no, I cleaned before, and then no one lived, so I can't help it, so I don't care." ”

Li Yuyuan wants to ask this, why are there so many houses, but the population is so small, and the woman looks like a person who can live, she said that her wife is still there, and there is no illness or disaster, how did the family fall into ruin?

But she is staying in the house, and it is not easy to ask directly.

But in this way, the woman's answer was not to the point.

How do you ask?

Li Yuyuan hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak.

The woman said, "The yard is in tatters, so that the lady can laugh, right?" ”

Li Yuyuan shook his head: "When we go out, we can have a place to stay, we are already very disturbed by Grandma, how dare we say the word laughter." ”

It is precisely because of the size of their house that some people stay there.

The woman's chatterbox was hooked up by Li Yuyuan, and she couldn't help but say: "Actually, it wasn't like this at home a few years ago. ”

That's what Li Yuyuan wanted to listen to, put it on his chopsticks, and listened carefully.

The woman didn't feel her strangeness, and then said: "This row of main houses, was built when the family was alive, Zhenguan twenty-three years ago, the family road is booming, the house is getting bigger and bigger, the side houses on both sides were built when Emperor Wu was in power, and there are some fragments, which were built in the Kaiyuan Dynasty for more than ten years. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. raised her sleeves to wipe her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "In the Tianbao year, the days are not as good as day by day, not to mention building a house, the family is gone one after another, and there is no money to repair the house, and it is difficult to eat." ”

Her cries became more and more uncontrollable, and her whimpering looked horrible in the dead of night.

Li Yuyuan didn't feel upset, but was shocked by crying.

The woman's words are even telling one thing, since the emperor changed the name of the year, the life of the common people has been miserable.
