After saying that, the two of them fled.

Cheng Qingwan helped Cheng Hua'er into the house and said softly: "When they come in the future, A-Niang will close the door, don't pay attention to it." ”

"It's all because I was blind to such a bastard." The woman sighed softly and took her hand.

"Scum, there's it everywhere." Cheng Qingwan smiled and said, "Auntie, let's call Aunt Liu and Sister Qiaoqiao tomorrow and go to the field to collect the grain together." ”

"But you're going to have to listen to the ancestral hall tomorrow morning." Cheng Hua'er thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, tomorrow I'll go with Aunt Liu, and you and Qiaoqiao will go to the school first." ”

Cheng Qingwan listened to her firm words, thought about it, and responded.

The two talked again, and then went to the kitchen to cook.

Cheng Qingwan took the flour that had just been ground today, planning to make a pancake.

She kneaded the dough first, then heated the pan, brushed the bread with a layer of lard, put it in the pan, and waited until the sides were golden before coming out of the pan.

Cheng Hua'er smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen, looked at a few cakes on the bowl, and swallowed her saliva: "Wanwan, you ...... When did you learn to pancake? ”

"Ah, it was when I was in town two days ago, I watched them do it, and I wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to happen."

Cheng Qingwan's face remained unchanged, and she handed the cake to the woman: "Auntie, try it." ”

Cheng Hua'er took a bite, and her eyes lit up in an instant: "It's so delicious, let her taste it when Aunt Liu comes tomorrow." ”

Cheng Qingwan responded with a smile, and the movements in her hands did not stop.

"Mrs. Cheng, Miss Cheng, are you at home?"

Ah Zhu's voice came in from outside, and Cheng Qingwan hurriedly handed the spatula to the woman and walked out.

Outside the courtyard, Ah Zhu led a cow and carried a food box in his hand.

"Miss Cheng, this is medicine for Madame. My lord heard that you needed a cow recently, so he asked me to bring it. The cow was so strong that it would be able to grind the flour in less than three days. ”

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, took the food box, and said half-loudly: "Do you have to tell your family about everything?" ”

"I don't understand what the girl means."

"How do you know I need a cow to turn the stone mill?"

Ah Zhu laughed when he heard it, and then said, "You should ask Mrs. Cheng about this matter." ”

Cheng Qingwan turned around, glanced at the figure in the kitchen, and just wanted to say something, but was blocked by a mushy smell.

"Not good." She screamed, stuffed the food box in her hand to Ah Zhu, and immediately ran into the kitchen.

"Wanwan, this cake ...... It's mushy. Cheng Hua'er held a spatula, her face full of innocence.

Cheng Qingwan looked at the person in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be stupid, just be fine." ”

After saying that, he took the spatula and put the pasted bread aside.

"I just watched you talk to the kid outside, and I thought you and him were quite compatible, so I was fascinated for a moment and forgot to turn over."

Cheng Qingwan heard this, and then remembered that Ah Zhu was still standing at the door, so she turned to the woman and said, "Ah Niang, go outside and bring the medicine in his hand." ”

Cheng Hua'er nodded and immediately walked out.

After a while, Cheng Qingwan baked the last cake and put it in a bowl.

was about to enter the house, when he heard Cheng Hua'er asking Ah Zhu's information.

"How old are you? Have you ever married a wife? What do you do at home? ”

"I am sixteen this year, I have never married a wife, and my family is working in the Yuan family."

"The son of the Yuan Mansion, what do you think of our family?"

Ah Zhu reacted immediately when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”

"You don't like my family?"

Cheng Qingwan took the dough cake and hurriedly walked in: "Auntie! ”

Cheng Hua'er didn't give up and still asked.

"This ...... I have nothing more to think about Miss Cheng. ”

When Cheng Hua'er heard this, she wanted to ask something, but was interrupted.

Cheng Qingwan took a few dough cakes and put them up, and handed them to Ah Zhu: "It's not early, go back and thank your family for me." ”

When Ah Zhu heard this, he hurriedly took the things, got up and walked out.

Cheng Hua'er looked at this back and said softly: "Handsome and burly, I will definitely be able to protect you in the future." ”

"A-Niang, he just said that he doesn't have that heart."

"Nonsense, what are you doing without that heart being so attentive to you? This is clearly embarrassing to say. ”

Cheng Qingwan took a bite of the dough cake: "Where did he care about me?" ”

"Deliver medicine every day, help catch thieves, help harvest, and even today, I sent a cow over, isn't that a concern?" Cheng Hua'er said with his fingers crossed.

"When you talked about cows, I remembered, did you say in front of Lord Yuan that our family wants a cow?"

"Yes, when I went to the ancestral hall that day, I chatted a few words by the way."

Cheng Qingwan sighed and said softly: "Ah Niang, Master Yuan is a good official who loves the people like a son, you have said so, of course he will come to solve our difficulties." ”

Cheng Hua'er listened to this and thought about it carefully: "So, this cow was sent by Lord Yuan?" ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded.

"Also, I heard Widow Liu say a few days ago that the roof is leaking, and when it rains, it looks like a water curtain hole. I don't know how it got into the ears of Lord Yuan, and the next day, I let people rebuild the tiles. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Qingwan hurriedly said: "So, Lord Yuan is a good official, let's not fool around, Ah Zhu won't dare to come to us at that time." ”

Cheng Hua'er nodded and looked at the person in front of him: "I don't want to find you a good husband who can protect you in the future." ”

"Auntie, I'm still young, I'll talk about it later."

Cheng Qingwan coaxed the woman to finish her meal and went to bed again.

She breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a few moments.

The next day, before dawn, Cheng Qingwan was called by Cheng Hua'er.

She was confused and freshened up, had breakfast, went out, and waited until she arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, and the genius was bright.

Cheng Qingwan looked at Song Qiaoqiao on the side and asked softly, "What time does Lord Yuan come?" ”

"Three quarters in the hour."

"What time is it?"

"Just arrived."

"It's still so early." Cheng Qingwan turned her head to look at the person next to her: "Your aunt also let you get up so early." ”

Song Qiaoqiao nodded and said softly: "I have never gone to school, A-Niang said that I should seize this opportunity to learn more from Master Yuan." ”

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then reacted, there was no compulsory education in ancient times, and only the daughters of large families could study.

Yuanqi, who was not far away, looked at the two women standing in the faint light, and hurriedly walked over.

"The two girls came so early."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at him, the cyan robe, the jade crown and the bundle of hair, no matter how you look at it, they are all sons of the family, but the black green at the moment looks out of place.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, and Ah Tong beside him said: "My family, I have copied more than a dozen books day and night in the past few days, just so that you can have books in class." ”

Cheng Qingwan looked at him, only to see him staring straight at himself, as if he had a lot of hatred.

"Then why don't you help the adult and make him tired like this."

"Atong." Yuan Qi called his name faintly, blocking his words: "Open the door and invite the two girls in." ”

Cheng Qingwan was about to turn around, but when she saw the figure not far away, she leaned over to Ah Zhu and asked, "Is that Ling'er?" ”

Ah Zhu nodded and said softly: "The old lady came with a letter, and specially explained that Ling'er stayed here to take care of the adults. ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, and then pulled Song Qiaoqiao in.

The two of them found a random place and sat down, and after a while, there were two books in front of them.

Looking along the slender fingers, Yuanqi's beautiful eyes looked at her with a smile.

"If Miss Cheng doesn't understand anything in class, you can ask questions at any time."

Cheng Qingwan was stunned to respond, and then opened the book in her hand, and the poems of the ancients came into view, and her opinions were written in small letters next to her.

She looked sideways, Song Qiaoqiao's book only had poems, and after careful comparison, the handwriting of the poems was the same as the handwriting of the opinions in her book.

This one of hers is a book used by Yuanqi......

Cheng Qingwan raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, but she didn't expect to collide with his eyes. For some reason, she was a little weak-hearted, and quickly lowered her head.

Ling'er, who was sitting on the other side, watched this scene, gritted her teeth, got up and walked to Yuanqi's side, and asked affectionately, "My lord, is the soup I made last night still to your liking?" ”

"I won't eat again after the unitary hour, and I won't have to deliver it again." Yuan Qi took a step back and continued: "Although grandma said to let you stay here, I still advise you to go back to the capital, the conditions here are hard, and you are not suitable to stay here." ”

"Ling'er is not afraid, as long as she can be by the side of adults." Ling'er spoke softly, and wanted to say something more, just looking at the face of the person in front of him.

"Grandma's promise to you, I won't allow it." Yuan Qi glanced at her, and then said, "The students are coming soon, you sit back in your seat first." ”

Ling'er turned around and lowered her eyes to cover the tears in her eyes.

Cheng Qingwan held the book, revealing only a pair of eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Song Qiaoqiao asked softly.

"What a show." Cheng Qingwan leaned her head over and whispered: "As the saying goes, women chase men, and the veil is interlayered, but what do I think, there is a mountain between these two people." ”

Song Qiaoqiao tugged at her sleeve and shook her head: "Lord Yuan is looking at you." ”

Cheng Qingwan raised her head, and sure enough, she met his eyes. She hurriedly sat down and posed like a good student.

There were many people who came to listen to the lectures, and almost every family in the village sent their children, and the entire ancestral hall was overcrowded.

Fortunately, Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao came early and grabbed the position, otherwise they would have to stand in the back and listen to the class.

This morning, Yuanqi seemed to pay special attention to her, and pumped her to answer from time to time.

By noon, everyone was a little hungry. Finally, Yuan Qi gave an order, and everyone handed over the books and went home for dinner.

"Let's go to my house for dinner, I baked a few cakes yesterday, come and taste them." Cheng Qingwan held Song Qiaoqiao's hand and said with a smile.

"Miss Cheng, yesterday, thank you for the cake, it tastes very good." Yuan Qi didn't know when to walk up to the two of them and said with a smile.

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then out of politeness, she hurriedly said: "I want to thank your cow for helping me a lot." ”

"In that case, can Miss Cheng discuss with me the technology of growing wheat again?"

Cheng Qingwan opened her mouth, and only spoke out halfway: "Did the adults plant the wheat?" ”

Yuanqi nodded: "It's already planted, and it's growing pretty good at the moment." ”

"Then my lord is waiting for good news." Cheng Qingwan looked at the Atong brothers and sisters not far away, and said seriously: "Also, why don't you marry a wife or marry Ling'er girl as soon as possible." ”

After Cheng Qingwan finished speaking, she took Song Qiaoqiao and left, leaving Yuanqi in place and confused.

"Wanwan, you just said this, right...... What do you mean? ”

"Did you see the way Ling'er and Atong looked at me? It's not friendly, it's like, I've robbed someone......"

Song Qiaoqiao didn't respond, thought for a long time, walked to the door of Cheng's house, and then said, "Wanwan, I think Lord Yuan is very different from you. ”
