Jiaohua

Chapter 23
The wind on the edge of the cliff is so strong that it seems to be there in all directions.

Mrs. Bian looked at the mountain in front of her, and then looked towards the opposite side.

The edge of the cliff over there was also full of people, and the servants and girls were all around.

"Mother, how did this stone bridge get built?" Bian Yuanxue asked curiously, looking at the mountain stream.

"I don't know," Madam Bian retracted her gaze, "that's why I want you to read more."

"Does the book still talk about this?"

"The book says everything." Aunt Liu next to her replied.

"Mother, is this still mentioned in the book?" Bian Yuanxue asked again.

Mrs. Bian glanced at Concubine Liu and nodded, "Yes."

The expressions of Bian Lei next to Concubine Liu, and the maids behind her suddenly turned a little unsightly.

Bian Yuanxue's lips curled into a snicker, and she held Mrs. Bian's arm tightly: "Then let's arrest Su Juren to repair the bridge tomorrow."

"Well, I must ask him about the bridge repair." Mrs. Bian replied.

"Su Juren is just a scholar who is literate," Bian Yuanfeng said coldly. "He specializes in art, so you don't need to ask him about bridge repairs."

"Brother, what did you say?" Bian Yuanxue shouted.

Bian Yuanfeng stood on the other side of them, with his hands behind his back, and he was wearing a blue shirt. At first glance, his demeanor looked a bit like Su Juren.

He looked cold, did not speak, and looked at the opposite side gloomily.

Mrs. Bian was also displeased in her heart, and being refuted by her son in front of so many people, she would be somewhat uneasy on her face.

The real masters of Qianshan came at this time, and the maids and aunts got out of the way.

"What's the matter!" Duan Fourth Master, the second master, shouted.

There is a sense of loss and powerlessness in the mountain without the stone bridge.

"Last night, the strong wind blew it, and now it's completely collapsed." Mrs. Bian replied.

"Then what have you been doing today, not cultivating?" Fourth Master Duan shouted directly to Madam Bian.

"Who do you ask to repair," Mrs. Bian whispered, "Look at those people opposite who seem to be able to repair."

Fourth Master Duan followed her words and looked up at the opposite side.

The servants and slaves were still standing there, dumbfounded.

Actually being lazy!
Fourth Master Duan frowned and shouted, "What are you doing! Stop working!"

"Go back to me." Aunt Feng immediately turned around and said.

The maids and girls backed away, and the girls who delivered the wine were still holding the wine jar and surrounded the bridge.

"Let's put it here," Aunt Feng pointed to the small open space next to her, "You guys also go to work."

Before Mr. Liang left, he said, "I still need to work? Who will eat the food and give it to?"

"Up and down the mountain," Aunt Feng turned to look at her, "there are still two ways."

Liang's eyes narrowed: "This time?"

"Otherwise?" Aunt Feng asked.

Mr. Liang groaned, and then he scolded the robbers in front of him.

Seeing that the servants and slaves on the opposite side were scattered, Wu Da, the burly second master in the crowd, said, "What should I do now, I have been hungry for a day."

All the servant girls are looking forward to this sentence. Mrs. Bian, Bian Yuanxue and those concubines can have two meals a day, but the servant girls can only wait for one meal a day.

The atmosphere seemed to quiet down all of a sudden, because no one knew how to answer.

After waiting for a long time, Bian Yuanfeng opened his mouth: "How to walk when there was no bridge, and how to walk now."

He looked towards his right hand: "Let these servants climb the mountain and send them here."

The two peaks are not completely disconnected, and the mountains and rivers at the northeastern creek head of the Back Mountain originate from the Front Mountain.

There is a waterfall under the front mountain wall. The water flow is very fast. On the other side of the waterfall, there is a stone stack and a mud ladder. It is unknown how many generations of helpers built it.

Anyway, the age of the stone bridge that has been smashed in front of him definitely exceeds that of everyone present.

"Now? Let them deliver?" Madam Bian frowned, "No way."

The stone stack is high and towering, and women and children dare not walk.

The mud ladder is steep and steep, and walking is also a test of physical strength.

"It's hard to walk up the mountain, what should they do if they fall and eat when they climb the mountain." Liu Yiniang also said.

"Then kill them, let me see who dares!" Wu Da roared.

"Let's go there," Bian Lei said. "No one has gone that way for many years. Someone has to open the way first."

Bian Yuanfeng stretched out his hand and grabbed the torch from a servant's hand, turned and walked towards the hillside over there.

"Erlang!" Madam Bian called.

Bian Yuanfeng kept walking, and said impatiently, "Open the way."

Ma Yu poured the water she just picked up from the well into the cauldron, looked up at the movement on the opposite side, and then searched among those crowds.

After searching for a while, she couldn't find Ali. She carried the bucket back to the well, hesitated for a while, and walked towards Aunt Feng.

"You mean, that Ali is still opposite?" Aunt Feng frowned.

"Fortunately, she was alive and didn't fall."

"I'm so busy now, what is she doing across the street, I don't remember she's going to deliver wine," Liang said.

The girls who delivered the wine were specially selected, and they had to be strong and fast.

There are nearly [-] people in Qianshan, and only those who are in charge and the ten leaders are eligible to drink. For others who want to drink, they have to reward Bian Baye's mood.

But even so, just relying on those girls to deliver the wine would have to go back and forth several times. Arina's movements and strength simply couldn't do it, so she might as well stay and do something else.

Yu's mother blamed herself: "It's also my fault. I saw that Lianping was restless and wanted to deal with Ali, so she prepared some candied cakes for Ali, and wanted her to send them to Lianping quietly. Today, she followed him to Houshan Burial. Chen Tang, when she came back, she fell off the mountain and crippled her whole leg. I asked her to go to the backyard and apply some medicine for her wounds. About Qianqian mentioned Lianping to her, and she stopped for a while. If you have nothing to do, just take those candied cakes and give them to Lianping."

"So that's how it is," Aunt Feng sneered, "Look, these girls in the backyard are either competing with each other, or they are more brainless than each other. This Ali is brainless."
