The Cheng family's delicate carriage stopped under the old locust tree at the gate of Yixue, but no one came down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe short-bearded steward riding next to him got off his horse and bowed his hand to the two old ladies who were sitting on the stone and chattering, "Old man, this is the village's righteous school, I wonder what time the students inside will get out of school?" ”

"Yes, after school at noon, I don't have much work for my son." If the old lady in the village had seen such a neatly dressed family in charge before, she would have been nervous and would not even be able to speak. But recently, there are a lot of big families who have come to the village to see flowers, and they are used to seeing such stewards, I really don't understand, just a few peony flowers, white flowers, what is beautiful, let these people run around in waves into the mountain pimples.

The steward looked up at the sun, and it was noon, and noon was near. Lan Yi frowned slightly, and handed the third girl to Zhao Heizhu's daughter-in-law who was watching the excitement next to her, "Sister-in-law Zhu, please help me bring this meat back, and then tell Aunt Yao, I still have something to do, and I will go back with Yu'er later." ”

Zhao Heizhu's cousin and nephew Zhao Lizheng lived not far from Lan Yi's house, and his daughter-in-law didn't ask Lan Yi what she was going to do, but happily took the three girls away, and this time she could say a few more words to Aunt Jia when she brought things back, which was a great thing.

Lan Yi walked under the big locust tree and sat on the stone, and several old ladies in the village saw her sit down, a little strange, "Wei Ji's family, aren't you busy today?" "Every day, I see her busy foot hitting the back of the head, how can I sit down and chat with them. In fact, it's not just Lan Yi, the young people in the village are busy during this time, watering the ground, making money, and those who can be idle are the old bones who can't work. Eh, not all the old bones are idle, Zhou Fatzi's grandmother can pickle tea eggs and salted duck eggs Peony garden sits on a small stool at the door of the garden to sell it.

Lan Yi smiled and said loudly, "Busy is busy, just look at the hour, it's almost time to get out of school, and I want to wait for Yu'er to go back together." ”

Everyone knows that Lan Yi feels sorry for the two children, and it is not surprising, "I heard the eldest grandson say yesterday that Yu'er was praised by Master Yang again." ”

Another old lady also said enviously, "No, I heard Hu San'er say that in their class, the child who writes the best and has the fastest book back is Yu'er." I think this kid will definitely be able to show talent in a few years, and then you will not only be a show talent, but also a show talent. ”

"Old sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" The old lady next to her hurriedly interrupted her, Lan Yi used to be Wang Linshan's daughter-in-law, she was a talented lady, and now she is married to Zhou Weiji, but it is not.

The old lady just realized that she had lost her words, thinking of Zhou Weiji's big black face, her heart suddenly struck, and she slapped her mouth, "Oh, people are confused when they are old, Weiji's daughter-in-law, the aunt is not intentional, don't go to your heart." ”

Lan Yi looked kind, but the quarrel was definitely good, didn't see Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law in the village walking around when she saw her, the old lady was also panicked.

Lan Yi shook her head with a smile, "A few aunts praised my family Yu'er, it's too late for me to be happy." ”

At this time, Lan Yi saw the carriage in front of her shake twice, the curtain opened, and a well-dressed woman jumped down first, respectfully raising her hand to help a woman in her fifties get out of the car. The woman wore a beautiful jade eyebrow with a water-inlaid head, a purple gown, embroidered with gold thread and a pair of black embroidered shoes with gold edges, and the soles of the shoes were also snow-white. I saw her stretch out her hand, help her mother-in-law step on the stool and get out of the carriage, with three jewel-encrusted rings on her well-maintained fingers, a sash on her wrist and a finger-wide white jade bracelet, and the eyes of several old ladies widened, even though there were so many ladies in the village, I had never seen anyone so richly dressed.

Lan Yi recognized this person, who was the eldest lady of the Cheng family, Cheng Zimu's mother-in-law, the Jiang family. Jiang Shi saw Lan Yi, and a smile hung on his white jade plate-like face, "Lan Yi, I just listened to the voice in the car and felt familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Lan Yi secretly raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart when she was familiar enough to call her by name, but she also stood up and replied with a smile, "Auntie, our husband and wife live in the village, and it is not strange to meet me here." ”

Jiang's face stiffened slightly, and he quickly smiled again, "Yes, I heard the little seventh daughter-in-law mention it, and the old body forgot about it for a while." I heard that the peony flowers in this village are blooming well, and the old man came to take a look, but he didn't expect the village to be so lively. ”

After speaking, she looked left and right, and saw that the people who were selling things were all vulgar countrymen, and there was an old woman who was bent over and shrunk her neck next to Lan Yi, looking up cautiously and enviously, with a sense of superiority in her eyes that could not be hidden.

Lan Yi sneered in her heart, "Auntie's carriage is parked in the wrong place, Kanhua should park the carriage in the open space south of the village, I'm afraid that my aunt won't know the way, why don't I let someone lead your carriage over?" "The wheat drying field in the south of the village and the backyard of the inn are now the places where the carriages are parked, and the village has sent special personnel to watch over them.

Jiang's long eyes rolled, "It's okay." Butler, it's good for you to follow the carriage, there are people coming and going here, and you can't get in the way. ”

The steward took the order and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage away. Lan Yi looked at the Jiang family who was still standing beside her with her mother-in-law, and how could she not understand what her idea was, "Auntie, why did you come here alone, look at the flowers, it's better to be lively." ”

Jiang also played Tai Chi, "The old body also rose by chance, so he came, I don't know where the flowers in the village are the best, and where can I settle down to eat something, seeing that it is noon, the old body is really a little hungry." ”

"Madam, if you want to eat, go further east and see the three-story inn on the hillside, which is the best place in our village to eat and rest." An old lady beside Lan Yi leaned over and replied with a grin.

Jiang Shi glanced at her old face with a missing front tooth, as if she hadn't heard it, and looked at Lan Yi with a smile, the old lady's smile suddenly froze on her face, and she retreated to the stone and continued to shrink into the sun.

"My aunt is right, aunt, the inn on the hillside is indeed the best place to rest in the village. To tell you the truth, I opened the inn, so I'll take you there, and by the way, I'll give you a brief introduction to the village. After Lan Yi finished speaking, he raised his hand and motioned for Jiang to follow him.

Jiang Shi smiled and nodded, but did not follow along, but turned his head to look at the braised meat stall of Zhou Lao's family, "It's okay, well, what kind of smell is it at this time, why does it smell so fragrant?" ”

When Zhou Lao's daughter-in-law heard this, she immediately came to her senses, "Madam, this is our exclusive secret recipe of braised pork, not only smells fragrant, but also tastes more fragrant, you see, do you want to come to two catties, this pig ear and pig head face are excellent cold dishes." ”

Jiang Shi looked at the hidden things that were placed on the side of the street for the inferior to eat, his eyes were full of interest, and he said to Lan Yi with a smile, "It's good to look at." ”

She was willing to spend money, so Lan Yi naturally didn't stop her, "Auntie, this braised pork is really delicious, I just bought some to take home." ”

When Jiang heard this, he motioned to his mother-in-law to come forward and buy some back, how could his mother-in-law not know what his wife meant, and he picked out some braised meat in the past, and Zhou Lao's daughter-in-law praised it neatly, and mixed it with garlic juice and sesame oil, wrapped it in clean fresh lotus leaves, and handed it to his mother-in-law with both hands, "Eighty-five Wen." ”

The corners of Lan Yi's mouth twitched, she really knew how to see people's prices, and she would discuss it with Zhao Lizheng when she turned around, and those who do business in the village must also pay attention to sincerity, not just a hammer to buy and sell one pit at a time, this is not a long-term way to operate.

The woman glanced at the fat-faced woman's oily hand and threw the silver on the stall, "No need to look for it." ”

Zhou Laojiao and his daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly put the silver in the money box, smiling brighter than the wild chrysanthemums on the hillside. (To be continued.) )
