Lin Piao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this terrible scene, thinking that fortunately he had decided to steal all the people out at night, otherwise it would have been too difficult to rob and save people from these people today.

Lin Piao scolded and pointed to the coachman on the ground: "Where is my beauty!" How did my beauty disappear! Swindler! Swindler! You businessmen don't have a good thing. Lin Piaoru was so angry that he crawled all over the ground, took the opportunity to pat his buttocks, and quickly left the yard.

Seeing that they were beaten, my heart was much more refreshed.

I just didn't expect the soldiers of the Xiang family to be like this, and I felt that the Xiang family didn't attach much importance to morality, and only looked at whether they were fierce enough, and this atmosphere was not very good, and I hoped that Erzhu would not learn badly.

Lin Piao returned home, refreshed, so he arranged for the Xiyuan to change shifts, let Tan'er and Xiaoyun change shifts, from time to time to take a look, to see if they had made any trouble, the result was very honest every day, saying that in addition to eating and doing some things when staying in the yard, the rest of the time would hide back in their own house, four or five people squeezed into a room and did not complain, Lin Piao asked them to send some old quilts that had been replaced and stored at home, and asked them to clean the house by themselves, and also spread a quilt on the ground to make a floor, like thisThe place where people can sleep is also more spacious.

Lin Piao really didn't think about how to arrange them for a while, to say that they were doing things in the yard, they didn't dare to use it without knowing the roots, and if they wanted to let them out, they were all scared, and they probably didn't dare to go out, they only moved in the house, and if they came and went in case they were bumped into by others, the limelight had not passed, and Lin Piao was also afraid that something would go wrong, so that others would find out that he had hidden so many mixed bloods here.

Thinking about it, Lin Piao felt that he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and then whether they could come out of it depended on whether their own performance was worthy of their trust, so he only glanced at them from time to time to observe their performance.

The people in the courtyard of the creek live in this small courtyard, and they don't want to care about what is going on in the outside world, and they don't want to know anything else, for them, a stable life is everything, even if they can only squeeze in a narrow room, even if they eat the simplest meals, some of them have had a good life, they know that the dishes are not good, but they are also careful, there is always meat and eggs, there is soup for every meal, one person can get a bowl, sometimes there are pork ribs in the soup,

They didn't want to think about anything else, they just had to continue to live here, because it was too painful to think, they were sold, they were sold by their father, whose mother was a mixed-race concubine, because the war was raging, and everyone hated the Gentiles, and the father did not want to be poked in the back, so he dragged his mother out in front of the whole county and burned her to death in the pyrewood, and in the midst of the revelry and praise of the people, she was also sold like an animal, and she was completely abandoned in the voice of her father's righteous words.

Her name is Tao Yao, her father said that Tao Zhi Yao is scorching, is to describe the mother, so she was given such a name, and the brother who lives with her is called Mo Yu, is a maid, she knows about him, he was sent to Beijing on the way to always at night when he can't sleep to say to her over and over again, saying that he and his master have a good relationship, they have been like relatives since childhood, his son also said that he will marry to take him, to let him accompany him for a lifetime, he said that he in this life, this life, is his master's son, But when the family finally wanted to sell him, his master didn't say a word.

Mo Yu always said: "No way, my son-in-law is timid, he doesn't dare to say anything, he has mine in his heart, but what can he change?" He must have been terrified. As he spoke, he sighed again: "If I want to die, I just hope that it will be a neat death, and it will not be too ugly." ”

At this time, there is a person who is willing to lock them up in the yard and raise them, and they can't ask for it, and they wish that they would never look at the outside world again for the rest of their lives.

Every other two days, Lin Piao came, and they went to the yard to wait for the training, but every time Lin Piao came to the yard to see how they were doing, and asked them who could do embroidery and who was more skillful, and then assigned them some work, and let them do their own work, chopping wood to cook, doing work and sewing, and after doing the work, they could change some things, such as adding a fish for dinner, and giving it to a jar of jerky butcher shop to eat.

After a long time, their souls seemed to slowly wake up, and they realized that there was really no danger, they were really living steadily, and they slowly began to look forward to the lady who would come to see them from time to time.

Chapter 150

Lin Piao took a look at the situation in the courtyard from time to time, observed their personalities, and usually asked Qiu Yu to take a look from time to time.

Lin Piao arranged some work for them according to their character and specialties, such as simple patterns for embroidering handkerchiefs, simple sewing for some clothes processing, and preparation and sorting of velvet threads, and let them take over these relatively large and repetitive tasks first.

Lin Piao felt like he had opened a black factory, locked them in and didn't let them go out, so he screwed every day, so he discussed with Shen Hong, planning to avoid the limelight during this time, and after a while, if they had a place they wanted to go to, or wanted to go back to their hometown, etc., it was better for them to use the money they had saved during this time as travel expenses, and it was better to let people out than to lock them up in the yard like this.

Shen Hong naturally agreed: "You can decide these things." ”

"I just want to know if you have any plans, and if you don't, you can arrange a place for them to go later."

Shen Hong sighed: "Piao'er, the current situation is getting worse and worse, they don't want to send them out, they don't know what will happen when they go outside, it doesn't rain in the south, it is getting more and more serious, some time ago I came to report, it was raining, I went to ask, in fact it was only a little drizzle, and it will be sunburned in a while, and it may not be able to wait until the day when the crops are hanging ears, and the people in the south will have no water to drink. ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Yes, the situation on the outside is not good, and it is dangerous to go anywhere." ”

In fact, the world is not good, and the world is not good, the people who suffer the most are the people at the bottom, and they can't think of anything inexplicable, just like these mixed races who have been sold, but there are other mixed races who are doing well, only they are sold, first Xiao Yue said that he wanted to greet Hu Ren Wuji, and asked about it, but there is nothing wrong with people, but they gradually show up less in the building, and only accept old guests with emotional foundations, and they generally come to perform and will not appear in the building, Xiao Yue is rightWhen they told them about the interracial mixed race being sold into slavery, they were also very surprised, and they were terrified, and finally they could only sigh: "Everyone has different circumstances, and there is probably their own cause and effect in it." "I used it to comfort myself so that I could believe that I would not encounter such a ridiculous and cruel thing.

"Your Majesty, is there still no intention to do something about the affairs of the south this time?" Lin Piao felt that this matter should not have been so difficult, and that it was actually a problem of infrastructure, which was equivalent to a plan to repair water pipes and send water to the village.

Shen Hong shook his head: "I have heard that if someone from the people gives advice, and the people of that village are industrious, they will spontaneously dig ditches to divert water, but often only farmers who value the fields at home will dig this ditch like a foolish man, not to mention that there are many things in the middle, if you meet the jealousy of others, look at the heart sour, or do not contribute but want to use water, and when you dig the entrance of the village, you will grab the ready-made, and want to bring half of the water to your own village." ”

Lin Piao's village where they lived before was considered to have a good economic level, backed by a sparkling river, and the land and rice fields were basically not terraced, not on the mountains in the flat place, whether it was to divert water or carry water to water, there was basically no shortage of water, plus the previous few years of good results, basically everyone's mentality was relatively balanced, and there was no particularly ugly thing to do, just a short broken mouth in the parents.

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong's expression and knew that he was really thinking about these things.

Lin Piao stretched out his hand and put it on the back of his hand.

Shen Hongleng paused, took his hand into his hand with his backhand and held it gently: "What's wrong." ”

"I'm quite emotional, in fact, I used to think that you are a very smart kid and suitable for this path, and being an official will definitely be like a fish in water for you, but now I didn't expect that you want to do so many practical things, which makes it more difficult to become an official."

Shen Hongdao: "When seeking political affairs in his position, he always has to think about something. ”

Shen Hong didn't say what he was worried about, this year, Daning suddenly started a war, and it was a big battle officially declared war, the border departments were ready to move, basically every time they attacked the border city, they were all with the intention of taking root and continuing to attack the hinterland of Daning, and the situation in the south behind was not good, taking history as a mirror, these things appeared at the same time, they were all signs of a dynasty's luck in exhaustion.

What's more, when he walked in the imperial court, he saw all kinds of darkness, all kinds of greetings and praises, and there were few places to do practical things.

He wanted to be just a mediocre courtier, but the situation in the court did not allow it, and if he also lived together, he was afraid that he would see the end of his mixed life.

He likes the good days now, he can go out with Lin Piao after dinner, take a walk on the wide and clean streets of Shangjing, talk along the small river embankment, and hold Lin Piao's hand at such a time.

"But the emperor's beak is harder than a duck." Lin Piao almost wanted to take a sip: "Unlucky thing, he is probably afraid in his heart, and he refuses to admit that it is his own problem." ”

"There are many remedies after doing things, and there are few preparations before doing things, everyone in the world is like this, there are many people who have the compassion to save the suffering, but they rarely think about preventing it from happening."

"Your Majesty, I didn't anger you again because of this, did you?"

"I haven't mentioned it again, but I'm just making preparations in private, so that a few adults who also take a look at this matter will occasionally knock on the side to see what Your Majesty plans."

Shen Hong spoke, his eyes drooped slightly, and fell on Lin Piao's hand, his hand was below, Lin Piao's hand was on top, overlapping and clasped together, Lin Piao's fingers were slender and long, but the outline was smaller than his hand, and he was grabbed by his hand, as if leaning on his arms.

Looking at Lin Piao again, he frowned slightly, and said how the emperor was, looking like he was upset for him.

Shen Hong said: "In fact, many things are very simple, that is, the selection of talents and the determination of a good direction, but the selection of talents is blocked by the family, and the various forces have their own directions that they want to take. ”

"My heart feels sorry for you, if everyone doesn't think about the situation, and you are thinking about it alone, you will be exhausted to death if you pull a huge ship."

Shen Hong couldn't help but smile lightly, grabbed his hand, pulled it to his lips, and gently touched the back of his fingers with his lips: "Don't worry about me, I'm amazing." ”

"Yes, yes, Sanyuan and the first, the new section champion, the most amazing officer, Shen Hong."

Shen Hong looked at him with a smile, he only knew that Lin Piao was cunning before, but now the more he looked at it, the more naïve he became, making him even more naïve when he spoke.

The two chatted for a while about the affairs of the imperial court, but no matter how much they complained, they couldn't get any results, so they changed to Ergou: "Ergou is mixing very well in Dali Temple today." ”

Shen Hong nodded: "He has his own connections, these places are people who praise people and people hold people up, others go in to do some small things, and he can't touch a powerful person for half his life, as soon as he enters, he has already met a lot of young masters in Beijing, big and small, and when others see him knowing these people, they have to give him three more points of face." ”

"You keep an eye on Ergou, he pulls relationships all day long, don't pull around and cause trouble."

"If anything, I'll remind him."

The two talked about it, and after lunch, Lin Piao first left Shen Hong's yard, and on the way back to his yard, he met Ergou, who came home beamingly.

"Ergou, have you picked up the money?"

Ergou smiled: "I'm happier than picking up money, I have a good relationship with the master bookkeeper, and he said that he wants to promote me to be a recorder." ”

"So fast? This makes people's sycophants comfortable and transparent? Lin Piao was surprised.

Ergou crooked his mouth and smiled: "That's natural, my technique, the first in Beijing, a burst of hammering and patting, so that the main book fluttering and forgetting the troubles of the world." ”

Lin Piao saw that he was proud, and asked him to stop quickly: "You are powerful, but you still get it, maybe people are hanging you with empty cakes, which makes you even more hard-working." ”

"Little sister-in-law, why are your thoughts so black, even blacker than those who are officials." Ergou smiled, of course he would not say how he operated, anyway, he didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and he would definitely not let his bamboo basket be empty, after all, the master book also looked at his connections, and he had something to do with him, he not only wanted to help people do this thing well and beautifully, but also put himself in a very important position, of course, he couldn't give others the opportunity to throw away when he used himself.

"So what are you going to do now? I came back in a hurry at this point, and only the leftovers in the kitchen were for you to eat. ”

"It's okay, I'll just pay for it, take two soft steamed buns, steam them and heat them, and sandwich some leftover fried shredded pork and pickles for a fragrant meal, I'll come back and get some silver on my body, and I'll go out to clean up a table and invite friends to dinner in the afternoon."

"Okay, then you can go, take a break at noon and then go out, in the morning, I stewed a big pot of pork ribs and snow pea soup, and you drink two bowls to moisten your throat." It is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the weather has warmed up and it is possible to wear single clothes, and it is good to be active outside.

Ergou nodded and hurried towards his yard.

Lin Piao continued to walk into the yard, and already in the yard, he heard some voices from the room, on one side were the voices of Xia He and Qiu Yu, the two were talking about packing up and placing things, and on the other side were the voices of Juan'er and Xiaoyue, as if they were discussing the purchase of embroidery and cloth.

Lin Piao got closer, and heard Xiao Yue say, "You are really, you see the king of Hades, what are you doing hiding like this?" When people come to look at you, you just let people see it, and it's hard to get rid of a piece of meat. ”

Xiao Yue's voice was smiling, obviously teasing Juan'er.

Juan'er was a little unhappy: "I don't like to let him see, I don't like to be reckless." ”

As soon as Lin Piao heard this, spring has arrived, and it is the season for all things to grow, and Juan'er has peach blossoms again?

Lin Piao knocked on the door, and the voice inside quieted down and asked, "Who?" ”

"Me."

"Sister-in-law, come in." Satsuki arrives and pulls the door open.

Lin Piao walked in and saw Juan'er sitting at the table embroidering, she put down the embroidery bandage in her hand, and called out to her sister-in-law.

Lin Piao touched the tip of his nose: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to come in and heard it, what?" Someone pestering Juan'er over there? ”

As soon as Juan'er heard him ask, she lowered her head and did not speak, looking shy and timid.

Xiaoyue said: "But no, originally a cloth merchant came to our Yueming Building, one came to deliver goods, and the other is that they have a batch of good materials over there, and they are robbing it everywhere, everyone wants it, saying that they have figured out that he has a good relationship, so that he can have these rare materials in the future, and they all think about our Yueming Building. ”

"Satsuki!" Juan'er snorted, stared at her, and told her not to say any more.

Lin Piao was a little stunned when he heard it, this spring, this cloth merchant, why does it feel so familiar?

Isn't this Fengsheng 2.0? How can I get to see Juan'er?

Lin Piao looked at Juan'er, a little surprised, but not very surprised, in fact, think about it, Juan'er is not strange that someone likes it, she has grown a lot now, peach cheeks and round eyes, young and pink, but also shy and timid, think about it, you know, the strange cloth merchant stepped upstairs, and saw the beautiful embroidered girl raised her eyes, shyly and timidly looked over, who can withstand this.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyue, don't make fun of Juan'er, but be careful that when you have something in your heart in the future, it will also make you ashamed to let Juan'er shake it out."

Xiao Yue disagreed: "I have nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Seeing this, Juan'er hated and said: "She has someone to look at, you are like this, I won't help you hide it." ”

Xiao Yue was a little surprised: "I didn't say that I want you to hide it from me, if you like it, you can like it, and there is nothing unpleasant." ”

This time, Juan'er was stunned, seeing that this move had no effect on Xiaoyue at all, she snorted lightly and stopped talking.

"Okay, okay, let's ask Juan'er about it first, Juan'er, are you ashamed or not embarrassed by that person?"

Juan'er shook her head: "I don't like him, he looks at me directly, which makes people unhappy." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Then avoid him in the future." ”

However, Juan'er has two big peach blossoms, and Xiaoyue has not met peach blossoms until now.

Both of them are good-looking, but the types are very different, Juan'er is obviously the more loved type, the classical Xiaojia Jasper, gentle and shy, Xiaoyue's appearance is heroic, the silhouette is more obvious, the eyebrows, eyes and nose bridge are more obvious, so it is not so attractive to men of this era.

Lin Piao turned his head and looked at Xiao Yue: "You too, what kind of coaxing do you make when you look at people directly." ”

Xiaoyue said: "Little sister-in-law, people are looking stupid, and they are not looking at it with squints, they are a young man, twenty-three years old, he looks good, and his appearance is not bad." ”

Lin Piao heard Xiao Yue say one by one, so she hurriedly stopped: "Then tell me about the one you fancied, who did you fancie?" ”

"Our account room in Yueming Building."

"Huh?"

"He has a good hand, and he can settle accounts, and every time he plans to make a plate, he looks so majestic, his eyelids droop, his hands crackle, and when he raises his eyes, he clarifies all the accounts."

Lin Piao didn't understand what kind of hobby this was, lovers? Intellectual?

"So do you get along with him?"

Xiao Yue shook her head: "No, I just like to watch him settle accounts, and I don't talk to him much." ”

Oh, it turns out that I love to watch skill live broadcasts.
