710 years
"Uncle Chen, add dinner tonight!" Su Qingluan had one foot outside the door and one foot inside the door, carrying a bamboo pole in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other. When she looked up, her smiling face appeared under the straw hat.
"Lady, are you back?" A middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old came out of the door and took the fishing rod and fish basket in Su Qingluan's hand.
The dark-skinned and kind-looking middle-aged man in front of him was just a poor man who fell in front of Su Qingluan's carriage at first.
It is said that because of the disaster in his home, his mother-in-law and son died on the road, leaving only two granddaughters to rely on each other, and they can't survive.
Su Qingluan had just come up from the small mountain village under the cliff at that time, and she wanted to walk around, but she didn't want to take her grandparents with her, after all, she herself had a headache at that time How to raise money for walking everywhere.
I never thought that these three people would be grateful for the grace of a meal, helping to drive the carriage and carrying the luggage, serving tea and pouring water, so that Su Qingluan was embarrassed to rush people.
After coming and going, she can only leave people behind - anyway, according to Su Qingluan's own ability, as long as she takes a little seriously, more rich people hire her as a cook, and it is enough to raise a few servants.
Originally, Su Qingluan thought that if he encountered a suitable place along the way, he would always find a place to place the three of his ancestors and grandchildren - after all, although this man was only in his forties, he was at an age when he could call himself an "old man" in this era.
And Uncle Chen's granddaughter is only seventeen years old, and the youngest is only thirteen, even if Su Qingluan doesn't think that women only have the way to get married, but for women in this era, finding a home to settle down is indeed the easiest way out for them in this era.
But I never thought that these three people were determined to follow her, and they were unwilling to stay even if there was a suitable place, and they were not even willing to accept the salary given by Su Qingluan, so they only served Su Qingluan wholeheartedly.
Although the two girls are not very old, they are very careful and organized, and Chen Bo is not an ordinary illiterate person, accounting and dealing with people, which makes Su Qingluan wonder why such a skilled person can't think of following him as a steward.
Chen Bo said, "If it weren't for Mrs. Su, our ancestors and grandchildren would have starved to death." And the two girls, Chen Qiao and Chen Hui, also have the same idea.
So Su Qingluan took three people along the way, and they went to visit the scenery of the northern country and also went to the small town in the south of the Yangtze River. I have felt the customs of Miaojiang and seen the fierceness of the nomads.
In the past two years, Su Qingluan has been touring all kinds of scenery in this world as he first envisioned. This made her have to sigh, even if she had been to a similar place in her previous life, but in different time and space, the feeling was completely different.
In the past two years, Su Qingluan has relied on his own craftsmanship to earn travel expenses all the way, and has come into contact with many interesting people, and at the same time, he has also felt the changes brought by the change of dynasty to society.
After the death of the old emperor, Su Qingluan thought that Xiao Huan would win the title of Ninety-Five, but he never thought that the successor to the throne was a child who was ranked sixteenth and was said to have just turned ten years old. And it is said that Xiao Huan was the regent of the regent.
At that time, when Su Qingluan heard the news, his head was full of question marks: What is the difference between this and direct succession?
No, it's still different, it's more expensive and there are endless troubles - if Xiao Huan still wants to be the emperor.
Although his head was full of question marks, Su Qingluan was too lazy to care about those things that fought for power and power, and lived his life with peace of mind.
But as time went by, she gradually found that whether it was her housekeeper Uncle Chen, or Chen Qiao and Chen Hui, the two girls were unusual.
It's true that they are faithful to themselves and dedicated to their work—but too heartfelt and dedicated.
Whether the three of them are in the world or their ability to do things, they far exceed the ordinary category of "housekeepers" and "maids", and Su Qingluan has not seen the quality of housekeepers and maids of large families - to put it mildly, these three people in her family will not do worse than others in any high-ranking household.
But it was such three people who made Su Qingluan wonder in his heart: she was just a cook, with no power or power, why would she let such three outstanding people be cattle and horses for herself?
Su Qingluan has always had no narcissism, she knows very well how many catties and taels she has, and she also understands that there must be demons when things go wrong.
She didn't think there was any big conspiracy, after all, although she was not poor and white, but because she traveled everywhere, she didn't have any opportunity to accumulate wealth for a long time, so she didn't have a huge fortune that people were worried about. As for power, that's not even more of a thing.
Su Qingluan didn't like this feeling of undecidedness, so she simply made it clear to the three of Chen Bo and asked them why they stayed If there is anything they want, for the sake of the three of them working hard for so long, she is willing to help without involving the bottom line.
As a result, I didn't want the three people on the other side to admit that it was very simple to be "entrusted by someone", but they denied asking for anything, just saying that the person asked the three of them to do their best to take care of Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan's inquiries were unsuccessful, and the other party didn't seem to mean to harm herself, so she simply let it go with the flow - although she had a guess in her heart, but then denied it, sometimes, it was not a wise choice to be too self-righteous.
So after another period of time, the weather gradually warmed up, and Su Qingluan suddenly wanted to go fishing on a whim this day, and he really gained something.
After fishing for a day, Su Qingluan didn't want to finish cooking, so he handed over the matter to Chen Qiao and Chen Hui, sisters - under Su Qingluan's "training", their already good cooking skills have grown greatly, and they can become their own teachers.
Su Qingluan had to wander around the courtyard that he had leased for three months, and before he knew it, he was on the outer wall of his neighbor's side.
The neighbor seems to have moved in for a month, but hasn't seen him. Su Qingluan said in her heart that maybe it was a dead house with super social fear?
Just then, she heard the sound of "da", "da", "da" from the other side of the wall.
This voice was really familiar, and Su Qingluan had heard it countless times from Xiao Huan - it was the sound of falling pieces on the chessboard.
Damn, how did I think of that guy again.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Friends over there, I got a few big fish today, do you want to taste them?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Su Qingluan regretted it: People play chess well, why did they bother with a brain pump?
Just as I was about to say sorry, I heard a very familiar voice say, "In this case, it's disrespectful to be below." ”
Then, the sound of the light clothes breaking through the air came, and "Mu Xingzhi" - "Mu Xingzhi" with sound legs appeared in front of Su Qingluan.
And Uncle Chen, who was about to beckon Su Qingluan to eat, seemed to be surprised, turned around and retreated.
You ...... "Why are you here?"
Su Qingluan seemed to see a ghost in the daytime.
"It's a lot of work, it's very boring, and I'm here." The person in front of him was still doing the disguise of "Mu Xingzhi", but he was no longer sitting in a narrow wheelchair, but was standing tall and smiling at Su Qingluan.
