The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 61 Attracting Thieves? (1)
"Do you really want to stay? Ping'er, my uncle doesn't have much ability, but it's not a problem to support you and grandma. My uncle is thinking that when you grow up, if you still want to marry, let the Hao family matchmaker marry you. Although the Li family is not a big family, they can't wrong you like this, uncle is sorry for your dead parents!" Li Jiu patted Leng Ping's head pityingly and said.

Leng Ping looked at Li Jiu, feeling strange in her heart, because of these words, she became closer, "Uncle, thank you, I..."

"Uncle really can't bear to see you take care of this family at such a young age!" Li Jiu sighed again.

Leng Ping shook her head and said, "Uncle, I like this family, I won't feel wronged!"

What's more, for her, it's the same wherever she lives. At least in this family, she still has goals. She promised the Hao family that she would lead them to a well-off life!Say it and do it!
"Since that's the case, uncle won't force you. This marriage was arranged for you by your parents. Uncle also hopes that your parents didn't misunderstand the person, and also wishes you happiness!" Li Jiu said, looking at the time, "I've been out for two days and one night. Your grandma is probably in a hurry. In this case, I'll go back first. If there's nothing else, I'll come back and help you build a new house!"

Leng Ping quickly shook her head and said: "Uncle, the city gate is about to be opened, and I don't care about building a house, as long as the courtyard wall is repaired, I'm not afraid of dealing with ordinary thieves! There are two taels of silver here, you take it first , When the gate of the city is opened, buy some food for grandma, and say that I will go to see her when I finish my work!"

Li Jiu thought for a while, then grabbed the silver in her hands, and said loudly: "I'll keep your silver for you, it will save some people from worrying about your orphans and widows!"

Leng Ping was taken aback for a moment, and understood that Li Jiu was diverting everyone's attention, so she immediately cooperated and said loudly, "Then please ask uncle to store it for me first, if I use it, go ask uncle for it!"

Lijiu nodded, deliberately revealing the two taels of silver, and put it in her pouch around her waist.

Those who helped with the work all looked this way and started working again.

Seeing the old house being renovated and the dining shed set up, Leng Ping was very happy. Although the plan for the new house had to be put on hold temporarily because the city gate was about to be opened, at least now she didn't have to live in a house with air leaks everywhere.

When the sun was about to set, Leng Ping called all the helpers and brought out a small bag of copper coins.

The tinkling of the copper plates made everyone's eyes light up.

"Uncles and uncles, it's too late tonight, so I don't care about the food. In this way, I will give each person five more copper coins, a total of ten. Everyone, wait for the city gate to open and the food in the family will be rich. Then invite the big guys to dinner!" Leng Ping said, and stepped forward to give ten copper coins one by one.

"Hao Ren's family, look, you are still so polite, you are just a helper, what are you doing?" Yu Xiuman smiled embarrassedly.

"That's right, let's at least have a full meal at noon. The sweet cakes are delicious. Someday I will ask the little girl to come to you and learn from you, will it work?" Cao Big Nose also said.

"Okay, you can come anytime!" Leng Ping smiled and handed out all the copper coins.

"Sisters and sisters of the Hao family, the newly built kang has to be dried in the shade for half a month, so don't go to sleep!" Yu Xiuman told Hao again.

"Brother Village Chief, don't worry, I saw Hao Ren's father built a kang before, I know that! I will burn some firewood under the kang hole to bake it at night, and it will be done quickly!" Hao quickly responded.

Only then did Yu Xiuman nod his head, and took the big guy to take the household items, thinking about the money in his hand, and went home satisfied.

"Everyone is gone, so I'm leaving too!" Li Jiu offered to leave.

"Her uncle, it's so late at night, where are you going, you have to climb over the mountain, it's too dangerous, and besides, you haven't eaten yet!" Hao Shi hurried forward and said, "One more day, let's go tomorrow! "

Now that Leng Ping wants to stay in the Hao family, the Hao family is his in-laws. Although Li Jiu felt a little bit resentful towards the Hao family, she couldn't show her face anymore, so she said, "I'm used to walking at night. What are you afraid of at night, Grandma Ping'er is at home alone, I'm really worried, I'd better go back overnight!"

While talking, I saw Leng Ping coming out of the house, carrying a small bamboo basket, which contained some leftover sweet potato pancakes and some miscellaneous pancakes.

"Uncle, the meat is finished, that's all there is, you and grandma don't dislike it, take it first, and give it to you when I have it!" Leng Ping said, and stuffed the small bamboo basket into Li Jiu's hand.

Li Jiu looked at it, and said without being polite, "Then I'll accept it. Anyway, you take good care of yourself. If you have anything to do, go to Lihua Village to find me. I'll make the decision for you!"

Leng Ping quickly responded.

Seeing that Li Jiu insisted on leaving, Hao went to the house quickly, took out an oil lamp, and gave it to Li Jiu, "This is the oil lamp that Hao Ren's father always used when he went hunting in the mountains. You use it first. It's not easy to walk on the road!"

Li Jiu also nodded, took the oil lamp, and walked away step by step on the bumpy road.

Hao Shi held Li Jiu's back as she was walking away, wiped her eyes, turned to Leng Ping and said, "Ping'er, it's rare that your uncle is willing to let you stay. Don't worry, Mother and Ren'er will treat you well in the future." of!"

Hao Shi treats her well, Leng Ping will believe that Hao Ren... Leng Ping walked into the house with Hao Shi, and asked the question in her heart, "Mother, I didn't know Hao Ren before, right? Why should I be engaged to your family?"

Hao Shi was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"I didn't say anything, I just found it strange!" Leng Ping frowned, "Since I knocked my head last time, some things are always vague and I can't remember clearly, but I always feel that I and Hao Ren didn't seem to get along well before, and Hao Ren also seemed to dislike me!"

Hao Shi hurriedly said, "Where is it? Second Master Leng was moved for a moment, so he made this marriage with Father Hao Ren! At that time, Hao Ren was Second Master Leng's most proud disciple. He said that Hao Ren was smart and responsible, and he would definitely be successful in the future!"

Just because Hao Ren is smart and can become an official in the future, so the father made an appointment in advance?It makes sense to say it this way, but Hao Ren has been following her behind and calling her sister, she really has no memory of this in her mind!And looking at Hao Ren's black-bellied and mean-spirited look, I really can't believe it!

"Sister, uncle left?" Hao Dan poked his head out of the room and asked.

Leng Ping nodded.

"That's great!" Hao Dan cheered, and behind him, Shi Shi and Hua'er also rushed out, hugging Leng Ping and acting like a baby.
