Chapter 28: Setting the Trap
Jiang Cheng's face is not good, it is better to never see him again.
"Little lady, your craftsmanship is so good~" Jiang Luo tasted a piece of pastry, which tasted sweet, and she praised it with a smile.
Chen Xianyue wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with some embarrassment, "It's Luo'er who taught her well." ”
"I don't know how many strange things are in Luo'er's little head." She lovingly pinched Jiang Luo's face.
Jiang Luo took a bite of the pastry and took out a cookbook, "I've seen it all on this." ”
Chen Xianyue had also read books in the past and knew a lot of words, she looked through it carefully, and the patterns on it were lifelike, but none of the dense words were known to her.
"What's written on this?"
"Recipes." Jiang Luo said.
"Is this a word?" Chen Xianyue smiled, how could there be such a simple and stereotypical text.
Jiang Cheng also curiously took it and flipped it over, he thought that he studied hard and hard, but he couldn't read a word.
Jiang Luo stood on his tiptoes and leaned into Chen Xianyue's ear and said, "This is also what that white-bearded grandfather gave me, and he said that this is a powerful and mysterious country. ”
"I know them all, and I will teach you later."
Chen Xianyue's expression was serious and respectful, and her posture of holding the recipe was like holding a holy decree.
She was convinced of Luo'er's words.
"Okay." Several people nodded in unison.
At noon, Chen Xianyue cooked porridge with grain, and they ate a full meal with pastries and pots.
In the afternoon, Chen Xianyue and Jiang Cheng went to the river to get water to water the ground, leaving Jiang Ran and Jiang at home.
Ah Si followed behind Chen Xianyue in a muffled voice, "I'll go, I used to do the job of carrying water." ”
"Little lady, let him go with his brother." Jiang Luo held Chen Xianyue's hand, "We have something else to do." ”
"That's good." Chen Xianyue hesitated for a moment and agreed.
She was afraid that Jiang Cheng would be uncomfortable, and the son-in-law of the Imperial Doctor's family worked with the homeless orphans.
However, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, and there was no other look on his face, he carried the barrel and walked out of the courtyard first.
"Little lady." Jiang Luo saw that Chen Xianyue's eyes still fell on Jiang Cheng, and called her softly.
"What does Luo'er want Xiaoniang to do?"
"Xiao Niang doesn't have to look at his brother's face in everything, he is still young, and Xiao Niang has to make her own decisions about many things."
Jiang Luo saw through her thoughts.
She lowered her head and said uneasily, "But your brother is the son of a concubine after all, and he was ...... in the past" Mo said that she let Jiang Cheng work, even if she sat down and ate together, it was impossible.
The status of the concubine is low, like a servant, even if Mrs. Jiang treated her and Jiang Ran generously in the past, and gave her a lot of dignity in front of others, but in the end, it can't be mixed up.
Since she settled in Dazhu Village, she has begun to have a lot of scruples. Jiang Luo repeatedly told not to bow down, not to be humble, everyone in the family had to work as much as they could, and she only thought that Jiang Luo was still young and didn't understand this.
Jiang Luo let go of her hand, "Xiao Niang, are you still thinking about the identity of fugitives like us, in the future, my brother can still marry a high-ranking lady, and I can also marry a noble gentleman?" ”
"Then the Linchuan Li family ......" Chen Xianyue didn't want to blurt out, "Xiaoniang will definitely do her best, and she won't let you marry a mountain village husband for the rest of your life." ”
"Little lady." Jiang Luo sighed with his hand, and there was an indescribable old-fashioned spirit at a young age, "You will spoil my brother like this." ”
She couldn't change Chen Xianyue's mind for a while, but her words fell on Jiang Ran's heart word by word, and she admired this sister even more.
At the beginning, she only felt that her sister was glamorous and pampered in the capital, and she was both respectful and afraid in her heart, and she hid from afar every time she saw it.
At that time, my sister seemed to have become arrogant, and there was nothing bad about it.
Today's younger sister is smart and wise, with special ideas, and is very good to her and Xiaoniang.
If she had to choose, she would like her current sister.
Jiang Luo stood in the courtyard and looked at the earthen walls less than two meters around, they were the first in the village, although the family was poor, but the orphans and widows could not be remembered.
In addition, Chu Mubei's entourage offended Wang Yuanwai's family, and she was worried that Wang Yuanwai would make people retaliate.
"Little mother, the world is so chaotic now, let's live in the village, in case a bad guy climbs over the wall in the middle of the night...... Luo'er is afraid ......"
Jiang Luo shrunk his shoulders, as if he thought of something he was afraid of.
She is now very comfortable with her identity, and she is also very skilled in coquettish and childish expressions.
Chen Xianyue nodded, Luo'er was thinking about it very much.
"What does Luo'er want to do?"
Jiang Luo walked under the wall and drew a row of imprints with a wooden stick, "Let's set up a little trap under the wall, in case there are really bad guys, it's better to have a defense." ”
She buried the sharp wooden stick in the soil, Chen Xianyue immediately understood her thoughts, and immediately went to find many dry branches, sharpened the upper section, and then buried it sparsely under the corner of the wall.
Ah Si carried the water back and forth four or five times, and they were still setting traps until dusk.
After a few days, the cabbage in the vegetable field in the courtyard has sprouted, changing one day at a time, and it is already green at the moment, and the growth is very gratifying.
Jiang Cheng would go with Ah Si to carry water and water the ground every day or two, and this little cabbage did not live up to their hard work.
In comparison, radish seedlings grow more slowly.
In the dead of night, Jiang Luo sat in the courtyard with a small bench and watched the scenery, the night was like a piece of dark blue felt, the stars were twinkling, and the night breeze brought real coldness.
It looked like winter was about to begin, but they didn't even have winter clothes, let alone bedding to keep out the cold.
Chen Xianyue had a sad face every day, and she didn't know how many times she sighed behind her back.
Jiang Luo looked at the night carefully, and changed his comfortable posture when he was tired of sitting. She likes to hold her cheek with one hand when she thinks, and when she does this, her elbow is propped up on her leg, and the whole person is curled into a small ball.
Ah Si stood behind her for a long time, and she didn't notice it.
Until she sat a little cold and was about to go back to her room to rest, because she was in too much of a hurry, it was suddenly dark and she almost fell to the ground.
Ah Si quickly stepped forward to support her, she stood still, only to see that it was Ah Si.
"Be careful."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother, otherwise I would definitely fall to the ground." Jiang Luo unconsciously pinched his ears and smiled.
Ah Si lowered his head and secretly clenched his fists, his face flushed, and he made up his mind for a long time before he spoke, "Miss Luo'er, I know that Madame listens to you the most, I want to ......"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Luo looked up at him, his neck was slightly sore, and he didn't see him say what he thought.
"If you don't say it, then I'll go back to sleep."
"Miss, it's about to be winter, and the poor don't even have winter clothes, I think
…… I think it's better for you to ask your wife to sell me to the two families in the village, and maybe I can exchange a quilt for a death deed. ”
His eyes were firm, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.
