Chapter 43 Wu Jiangnan
Fortunately, when Xu Changting was practicing Buddhism in Yongning Temple, he stayed alone in Yongning Temple, without his family or even his subordinates.
So this time when they went to Banlong Village, whether it was Chu Ying, Xu Changhong, or Xu Wenrou, although they were emotionally reluctant to let Xu Changting leave them, they were still able to accept it.
Xu Zhongli smiled and agreed that Xu Changting went to Banlong Village alone, but because of this, he also attracted Chu Ying's eyes and complaints.
And, of course, the dissatisfaction of his two daughters.
Xu Changhong originally wanted Xu Changting to take He Ye'er with him, after all, He Ye'er himself was from Banlong Village, so that they would be more at ease and down-to-earth with a maid who was familiar with the environment beside them.
However, Xu Changting didn't agree with anything, which made Xu Changhong look at Xu Changting helplessly and sigh again and again, feeling distressed and reluctant, angry and dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Xu Wenrou, who jumped in, brought the news that made Xu Changhong smile instantly.
Wu Jiangnan, the woman who introduced silk and satin fabrics to their sisters in Lanting Cloth, walked in after the bouncing Xu Wenrou.
Although there was still a trace of reluctance on her face, she pouted to express her inner dissatisfaction, but this was the idea of their young lady, so even if Wu Jiangnan was unwilling, she had to follow Xu Changting to Banlong Village.
Since leaving the Teaching Department last time, Xu Changting has either stayed at home in the past few days, or persuaded Feng Zidu to go to Banlong Village with him, or he went to Lanting to discuss with Li Chengxin about the winery, academy and other things in Banlong Village.
Huo Nuer drove, Xu Changting and Wu Jiangnan took the car, and the carriage slowly set off from the front of Xu's Mansion to Banlong Village in the sound of Chu Ying, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenwen's tirade.
Xu Changting in the carriage was smiling, indescribably relaxed, and Wu Jiangnan on the other side pouted, holding his burden, frowning at the other boxes and burdens that were about to fill the carriage.
Yes, these boxes, burdens, etc., were all prepared for Xu Changting by the two sisters, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou, after Xu Changting decided to go to Banlong Village.
There are not only a change of clothes, bed sheets, bedding, etc., but even a washbasin for washing, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou The two sisters carefully prepared them for Xu Changting.
It can be seen from this how important Xu Changting's position in the hearts of his mother Chu Ying and his two sisters is.
And all these items that occupied most of the space in the carriage, and when they arrived in Banlong Village, Xu Changting obviously wouldn't clean it up by himself, so he naturally fell on the unlucky guy next to him...... Wu Jiangnan's body.
The original green wheat seedlings have now become a piece of gold, a full ear of wheat makes people look full of joy, lift the curtain and look out the window, the breeze is light, as if with the natural fragrance of wheat, which makes people feel refreshed.
There is no cloud in the clear blue sky, and Xu Changting often likes to describe it as naked, and then it will attract the white eyes of Wu Jiangnan.
The cuckoo chirping sounded from time to time overhead, like the horn of the harvest farmers to harvest wheat, all the way to Banlong Village, you can already see some farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, sweating like rain in harvesting wheat.
After paying attention to the window, the puffed up Wu Jiangnan was gradually attracted by the scene of wheat harvesting outside, and temporarily forgot how trivial the work in her hands would be after arriving at Banlong Village for a while.
He Chengtian had been waiting at the door of the house early in the morning, and Liu Da'an would hear a little movement from time to time, so he immediately ran out to check to see if Xu Gongzi had arrived.
The two of them didn't do anything at home all morning, and their minds were occupied by Xu Changting, who was coming to Banlong Village today.
And since yesterday, He Chengtian has cleaned the room where He Ye'er lived several times with Liu Da'an, and finally prepared it for Xu Changting early this morning.
There were two people in the carriage, and it was Huo Nuer who was driving, which made He Chengtian and Liu Da'an a little unbelievable, Jing Ran, the son of the dignified waiter of the Ministry of Rites, brought such a little people?
However, when the two of them saw the large and small boxes and full of items in the carriage, their mood became even more unbelievable!
It's just one person, and it can't live for long, how can it bring so many things? Is this an intention to stay for a long time? And...... These belongings look more valuable than all the belongings in He Chengtian's family combined, right?
Maybe even if you count all the belongings in Liu Da'an's house, it's not as valuable as the copper basin in front of you that can show the figure of a person, right?
Xu Changting took Wu Jiangnan and walked inside, looked at the stunned He Chengtian and Liu Da'an, and said lightly: "That's all for the time being, maybe in a few days, if my eldest sister and second sister think of something, they will send someone to send it over." ”
"Let's move, see what I do?" He Chengtian looked at Liu Da'an, who was smirking next to him, and said a little speechlessly.
Although Wu Jiangnan was dissatisfied that she was sent by the young lady to serve Xu Changting, now that she was someone else's maid, she would not have any complaints about the work she should do.
Although he would not personally move those large and small boxes, but every item should be placed there, Wu Jiangnan already had an idea in his heart after roughly observing the room between himself and Xu Changting.
Xu Changting's room is the room left by He Ye'er after she went to Xu's mansion, and Wu Jiangnan's room is the exclusive study of He Chengtian, a scholar, which has been transformed into Wu Jiangnan's boudoir in the past two days.
Some of the items that Xu Changting commonly used in his life were put into Xu Changting's room one by one under Wu Jiangnan's command, while some items that were not used daily were temporarily placed in Wu Jiangnan's room.
Including Xu Changting's pile of clothes, Wu Jiangnan also picked and chose a few of them in Xu Changting's room, and the rest were still in her small room.
Large boxes and small boxes, big burdens, small burdens and other items made He Chengtian and Liu Daan run back and forth several times in a row.
While instructing the two of them to put the heavy boxes and burdens, Wu Jiangnan began to pack and put them away quickly. Even so, Wu Jiangnan, who was quick with his hands and feet, even had time to pour a cup of hot water that she had just boiled for Xu Changting, who was under the mulberry tree.
Xu Changting sat under the mulberry tree, holding a cup of hot water in one hand leisurely, while looking at a plough and a pile of sickles in the corner.
It has been nearly a month since He Chengtian last went to Danfeng City, and if you add the time when He Chengtian sent He Ye'er to Xu Mansion for the first time, it is almost two months now.
The changed plough has naturally been recognized by the farmers of Banlong Village, which has also made He Chengtian finally have a certain influence and value in Banlong Village, and he is no longer a poor scholar who is nothing like before.
He Chengtian, who had finished moving the items, was already panting slightly, squatting down next to Xu Changting with a snort, pointing to the plough with a bright plow in the corner of the wall, and said: "Basically, every household has changed, and some people are reluctant to spend that little money at first, but when they see that the changed plough can pull the plough in the crop field alone, and the ploughing is deep and fast, they finally touch their pockets and agree." ”
"You didn't sit on the ground, did you?" Xu Changting asked.
He Chengtian shook his head, the brightness and dignity of the scholar are vividly reflected in his He Chengtian.
"No, didn't you say it, this matter seems to be a small matter, but it is a big thing in a symbolic sense, I don't dare to make my own decisions, not to mention that this little carpentry work is nothing to me at all, plus Liu Da'an helps, it is also very fast." He Chengtian said with a smile.
With a pair of strong and powerful hands, you can see that after this period of carpentry work, it has become rougher than before, and there are faintly some small wounds that have been scratched during work.
"Where's the spinning wheel?" Xu Changting continued to ask.
He Chengtian nodded and said, "I don't have a spinning wheel at home, let's build a new one according to that drawing, I'm a little reluctant to spend so much money." So according to the method of changing the plough, Liu Da'an's mother's spinning wheel was changed. ”
"At the beginning, when Uncle He changed, it made my mother worry and distressed, and a good spinning wheel was like being smashed." Liu Da'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, and also squatted next to him and said, "And if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have let Uncle He touch my spinning wheel." ”
Compared with when he went to Xu's Mansion, Liu Da'an seemed to be a little more talkative, but when he looked at Xu Changting, he could still faintly see some awe in his eyes.
"Yes, Childe, you are the great benefactor of their family, and if you want to touch the spinning wheel, if you don't show your name, your mother won't let me touch it at all. But fortunately, he didn't live up to his son's expectations, nor did he worry too much about his mother, and his mother couldn't stop laughing after the change. He Chengtian said happily.
"It's that my mother misses Liu Ya'er a little, and she used to always say that when Liu Ya'er grows up and is going to get married, she will use the spinning wheel as a dowry." Liu Da'an lowered his head, even if he couldn't see the expression on his face, he could deeply feel the deep guilt in his heart for his family, especially Liu Ya'er.
After all, if it weren't for him, their family wouldn't have fallen into the situation of selling women.
And if it weren't for Xu Changting, I'm afraid their family would be a different miserable scene at this time.
"If you have time, send a message to Liu Ya'er, and ask her to come back to see your father, then Miss Song is not an unreasonable person, and she will not embarrass Liu Ya'er." Xu Changting said lightly.
Liu Da'an squatted there and nodded silently, without saying a word.
The carriage stopped at the door of He Chengtian's house, and the car had been unloaded, as for the horse, Liu Da'an drove his family's old cattle out of the cattle pen and tied them at the door, and then placed the horse that pulled Xu Changting and them in their cattle pen, and took out some good feed without reservation and contributed it to the horse.
