Ye Jian likes a clear spring under the plane tree, the pool is two meters square, clean and clear, the spring water gurgles out of the round hole at the bottom of the pool, and the water surface is more than half a foot high.

"Wells for rich people are different."

He smacked his mouth twice and brought a bucket from the kitchen to fetch water to wash his hands.

"Uncle Ye, you don't need to stick the bucket in."

A young man who looked young in his servant's clothes ran up to him in three steps and two steps as he approached the fence and was about to put the barrel into the pool, laughing and stopping him.

"If you don't stick in, how can you get water?"

Ye Jian was confused, looking at the spring pool and glaring.

"There's a mechanism here."

The boy put the wooden bucket outside the spring pool and demonstrated with a smile: "Press it, and the water in the spring pool will flow out of the bamboo tube, just put the wooden bucket under the bamboo tube to receive water." ”

"Thank you, little brother."

Ye Jian's old face flushed, and he swallowed his saliva in embarrassment.

"Uncle Ye is polite."

The young man smiled cutely: "You can call me a little chestnut." ”

"Little chestnut?"

Ye Jian glanced at him in surprise: "This name is quite interesting." ”

"Lord Wang, oh no, Young Master Wang looked at me stunned, like a chestnut that has not been peeled, and casually took such a name."

Little Chestnut's eyes flashed slightly, and he touched his nose a little embarrassed.

"How old are you?"

There was something more embarrassing than himself, Ye Jian quietly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled amiably.

Little Chestnut replied truthfully: "Thirteen years old." ”

"I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm still a child."

Ye Jian somehow, thinking of Erya, a touch of distress swelled up: "Your father and mother are also willing." ”

"It's not that my parents sold me, it's that I want to leave home and find a job."

Little chestnut he, laughed heartlessly: "The main thing is that my mother dislikes me too well, she always says, half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, and the family's rations for a year let me eat alone, I don't want to listen to her nagging anymore, so I sold myself to others and came to the capital." ”

Ye Jian's heart trembled when he heard this: "You leave home, does your mother know?" ”

"Yes."

Little Chestnut grinned: "I also left five taels of silver for the family, which should be the food money for these years." ”

"You kid, you have a big heart."

Ye Jianci's father's heart was about to move, and he couldn't help but preach: "If you dare to leave home alone, you are not afraid that people will sell you to a black-hearted coal kiln to suffer and lose your life." ”

"Hehe, I didn't think about it that much."

The little chestnut touched his nose and was stupid: "I just want to come out to work, as long as I can fill my stomach." ”

"Luckily, you're a big deal."

Ye Jian saw that the wooden barrel was almost full, and tried to press the mechanism, but the spring water stopped flowing in an instant, and he was amazed to see it.

Little Chestnut bent down to carry the bucket: "I'll help Uncle Ye carry water." ”

"No, no."

Ye Jian hurriedly excused himself: "We countrymen don't want people to serve, I'll just come by myself." ”

Uncle Ye laughed.

Xiao Lizi was quick and hurriedly lifted the wooden barrel: "This mansion belongs to yours, and we should serve you." ”

"What?"

Ye Jian was stunned when he heard this, and stood on the spot, and it took a long time to find his voice: "What did you just say, whose house is this?" ”

Xiao Lizi glanced at the west wing: "Brother Qinglin is here, saying that it is this mansion, and the young master has already given it to Yan Yatou, and in the future, Uncle Ye's family will be the owners of the mansion." ”
