In the green jade courtyard, Lan Yi sat on a stool in the small kitchen and helped Yu Bo peel pine nuts, "Uncle Yu, are Yu Yan's legs and feet fast?" ”

Unlike Lan Yi, who needs to use tools, Yu Bo put his thumb and index finger together, easily pinched the pine nuts, and took out the pine nuts, "The girl gave the little girl a good name." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lan Yi smiled and said, "Since it is an errand to send a letter, it is reasonable to take 'Yan'." ”

Unlike Mu Ran in front of him, Yu Bo had a soft smile on his face, "It's okay." Yu Yan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her legs and feet are not slow, so it is most suitable for her to follow the girl and spread the news to run an errand. ”

"Thank you." Lan Yi sincerely thanked her, Yu Yan was from Yujiabao, her martial arts were naturally not weak, and she would be by her side in the future, and her safety would be more guaranteed.

"This is what Wei Ji means. Yu Yan has an upright temperament and does not know how to be flexible, she offended people in the castle, the girl accepted her, it was to give her a chance to live, and from then on her life is yours, the girl can rest assured. ”

Finding a martial artist for Lan Yi is Zhou Weiji's meaning. Zhou Wei couldn't always take Lan Yi by his side and protect her thoroughly, so he wanted to find a maid with personal protection to protect her, but a maid with good fists and feet and loyalty was so easy to buy, and he didn't like it when he chose and chosen, so he found Yu Bo, explained what he meant, and asked him to help find a candidate. It happened that Yu Bo's friend wrote to him because of Yu Yan's incident, hoping that he could save Yu Yan, who was innocently convicted, from Yu Jiabao. Yu Yan can also be regarded as Yu Bo who grew up, and she was very relieved of her character, so she wrote to Yu Zimo and asked her to come over.

Knowing that it was Zhou Wei who entrusted Yu Bo to find someone, Lan Yi's heart was warm, how could she not understand his intentions.

"Don't worry, I'll treat Yu Yan well." Although it is Zhou Weiji's meaning, it would not have been possible without Yu Bo's help. As for who Yu Yan offended and why he would follow him to save her life, Yu Bo didn't mention it, and Lan Yi didn't want to ask.

Yu Bo thought of the originally dull and now more energetic Jia brought back by Lan Yi, and nodded, "I know, the girl doesn't have to spend time on Yu Yan, just reward her with a bite to eat." ”

It wasn't until noon, watching Yu Yan eat the third steamed bun, that Lan Yi silently complained, what kind of food is this!

Jia Shi watched her drink two bowls of porridge, thinking that he would add more than half a scoop of rice in the future.

Yu'er looked at Yu Yan's emaciated figure with sympathy on her face, worried that she would eat a bad stomach, "Sister Yan'er, we still have a lot of food in our family, and we can eat enough at once, you can't eat too much at once, your stomach will be uncomfortable." ”

"Sister Yan'er, you really can't eat too much, you'll have diarrhea, you ate a lot yesterday so you can't eat today, my mother said that I have to be hungry for a day, what if you also have diarrhea?" Wen Xuan followed Yu'er's words and said with a heartache.

Although Yu Yan didn't show it on his face, he also felt embarrassed in his heart, he was adrift during this time, and he didn't have the heart to eat. was rescued by the master and uncle, and recognized Lan Yi as the master, and the old and young in the family treated each other politely, so that her hanging heart was put down, and there was one key point, "Grandma's food is delicious." ”

"Grandma, shall we eat steamed buns with wild vegetables and pork at night? Sister Yan'er must also love to eat. Wen Xuan touched his little belly, "I haven't had buns in my stomach for a few days." ”

Lan Yi and Jia Shi were happy, and Wen Xuan, the kid, was getting better and better at talking. Whenever Wenxuan asked, Jia Shi didn't deserve, "Okay, make buns at night, what stuffing does Yu'er want to eat?" ”

"I also love to eat wild vegetables and pork filling, Dad likes to eat more meat, Grandma put more meat. The master said that because I had to move tomorrow, I would get out of school early the morning, and I would come back to help my grandmother light the fire after picking up the duck eggs. Yu'er replied obediently.

"It's rare to get out of school early, you go and play with the cows and eggs for a while." Like Lan Yi, Jia hopes that Yu'er will be more like a child, run more and write less in the house, a child who is only seven years old will be sensible and distressing.

"Okay, when we're full, let's go see if the quilt is dry, and go help Sister Yan'er clean up the house." Lan Yi took the two little ones to wash their hands and rinse their mouths.

Yu Yan, who felt embarrassed to sit there and didn't know what to do, stood up suddenly, "Madam, don't bother you and the two young masters, I'll clean up by myself." ”

Lan Yi didn't allow her to call herself a slave at home, so Yu Yan obeyed, so she changed her words. Lan Yi cleaned up the west house in the east courtyard for Yu Yan to live in, the bedding was ready-made, and it could be lived in after a little drying.

Lan Yiquan should eat and take the two children to help her pack the bedding before instructing, "It's okay later, you can rest at home." ”

Yu Yan hesitated.

"Come over early so you can help me with my work." Lan Yi ordered again, and took the two children back to the house for a nap.

Later, Lan Yi took Wen Xuan to Uncle Wang's house to visit the door, and Second Uncle Wang cleaned up wood in the yard. It was rainy this autumn, but it was unusually dry in winter, and the snow has not yet fallen, and the wood and adobe have dried thoroughly, just waiting for the ground to be broken in the spring of next year.

Wang's second aunt Li took the big girl to do needlework in the yard. Although it has entered the twenty-ninth day, the noon sun is surprisingly good, sitting in the courtyard with the leeward sun, basking in the warm sun, I don't feel cold at all.

"The second daughter-in-law is going to teach in Yixue, and the needlework is directed to me to do it." Li smiled and complained, but in fact, he had no resentment at all. Chen's ability to be a female master in Yixue also feels that it is a very face-saving thing, which makes her feel more face-saving than Liu's running to make duck sweaters and clothes.

Of course, it's also important to make money. She also took duck feathers and fabrics from Liu's and came back to make clothes to earn processing fees. Although there is no shortage of money in the family now, who thinks that there is too much money, and the money earned by her own hands makes her feel happier than her son's filial piety to her.

Lan Yi saw her sewing coarse cloth with a large needle and thick thread, and knew that it was used to hold things, "I still have leftover coarse cloth there, which is enough to sew five or six big bags, and I will sew it for you tomorrow." ”

Li's eyebrows were kind, "That's enough." After entering the wax, there are many things, and next year's spring people will not have time to move the needle and thread in the spring, and now they are just in a hurry. The contents of the cupboard and the bedding are all moved to your yard and placed clean, clean and not stained with dust, and the remaining bits and pieces are enough for these few bags. ”

Next spring, the main house will be picked up and a new house will be built, and the things in the house will be cleared out. When the house was built, Li and Chen took their two children to live in Wang Linyuan's house, and Wang Ershu and Wang Linxi lived in the wing of this courtyard. Wang Linyuan's house only has three main rooms, and there are no wings in the courtyard that can't hold many things, so the small things that can't be used temporarily from the house are put in Lan Yi's east courtyard. Because Lan Yi has remarried, it is not good to move in and out of the large things in the family, otherwise they can be put down.

"Lin Xi said that the old tables, chairs, and cabinets in the house are gone, and they will be replaced with new ones when the house is built, and some things will have to be put in bags for a few days." Li raised his arm and straightened his sideburns with a needle, "Although it looks good to replace it with a new one, these old things are used to it, and it's a pity to throw them away." ”

Lan Yi smiled, "You just rely on the second brother, isn't he working so hard to make money just to let your second elder live a good life." You've changed the full set of furniture, and he'll be happy. ”

Lan Yi likes to listen to this, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are smiles that can't be hidden. Second Uncle Wang raised his waist, "It's time to change, I'll go and book with Carpenter Zhou on the day of the set, and the wood will be made by him, according to the set in your courtyard, and also give Dafu a desk and bookshelves." ”

"Carpenter Zhou's work is not bad, it can be used." Lan Yi was very satisfied with Zhou's carpenter's craftsmanship, "His son is also a good hand, and the father and son work neatly. The second uncle first set the size, and let him play at the beginning of spring next year, and when the house can be occupied, the furniture should be able to be used. Second uncle, this winter can't snow, right? ”

"It's not good, there is the rain of last autumn to lay the base, and then water it after the wheat seedlings return to green in the spring, and the drought is not good, so I am afraid that the old will not rain and the worm disease." Speaking of crops, Second Uncle Wang said worriedly, "And the peonies on our hillside, I don't know if they will get sick." ”

"Let Uncle Zhao come back as soon as spring begins, how to use medicine to prevent us." With Zhao Shangjing here, it is still a little guaranteed, "Uncle Zhao, father and son will come back in the spring next year, and I told them that we have to build a house and let them work harder." The second uncle doesn't have to worry about the peony, just keep an eye on the matter of building a house. ”

Second Uncle Wang is not too young, if he is busy in the field and at home, Lan Yi is afraid that he will not be able to bear it. Building a house is a good thing, if you are tired for this, it will not be worth it, Lan Yi thought of Zhou Weiji's tired and thin appearance when he built a new house, and his heart still hurt.

"Yes. The hillside is dry, and the peony seedlings are tied with straw, but they can't get on the sparks, otherwise it's all over. Second Uncle Wang frowned, "At the end of the year, the children set off firecrackers, so we have to keep an eye on it." ”

Li Shi answered, "The children will tell you a few more words, and you can stay away from the hillside." I'm afraid that there will be black-hearted people like Skin Monkey and Jiqing! Today I saw the skin monkey mother, the eyes are swollen like steamed buns, and I can't worry about it when I'm old, can the skin monkey come back alive this time? ”

It should be no problem to be alive, this crime is not enough to kill the head, but whether he can come back Lan Yi is not sure, "It depends on how the county magistrate sentences." ”

There are no major cases in Huang County this year, and the cases that Zhou Zhixian has interrogated in the past year are all trivial matters of friction between neighbors, and when this "big event" occurs at the end of the year, he will definitely make a big deal to draw a successful end to his career as the governor of Huang County. Although it is the same village, but the skin monkey's hateful eyes towards Lan Yi have already offended Zhou Weiji, he dares to glare at his wife, dare to resent his wife for no reason, Zhou Weiji will not give him a light sentence.

After Zhou Zhixian waited for the main culprits in the case to arrive at the case, he lined up two classes of officials, went to the lobby to personally inquire about the case, and after asking about the three crimes, one person first beat ten boards, and the whole hall was killed. then went to the bottom of the matter, and dug up all the things they had been stealing in the past few years. He was sentenced to five years of hard labor on Salmon Island, and Zhou Jiqing was fined 15 taels of silver and imprisoned for five months because he was an accomplice because of his young age.
