Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 314 Don't Allow Soft-heartedness (Two in One)

"Master, farmers, those poultry and livestock are their blood and lifeblood, you should think about other tricks..."

Cang Yun gave Lingbao a hard look, and said, "You have been with me for so long, and you still don't know what kind of person I am?"

"Young master, you are a..." Lingbao wanted to say the following words, "scheming, ruthless, and revenge", but Cang Yun didn't give him a chance.

"That's right, this young master is such an extremely simple person. Those who are used by me, I will reward him (her) with gold, silver and wine. Those who are my enemies, I will chop off his (her) paws and make wine!"

Lingbao shrank his neck and asked: "Then when is the young master going to do something to her poultry and livestock? Of course it won't happen in the clear sky and day. Shouldn't you wait until the night is quiet?"

Cang Yun sneered, and said: "Fool, since we moved into her house, hasn't that man named Awang squatted on the roof all night? Although this young master doesn't take that Awang's skill into the corner of his eyes, but when Wen Before Ding's rabbit appeared, I didn't want to startle the snake."

"When is the young master going to do it? What kind of poison do you need? I'll prepare it!"

"After noon, I've noticed that the peasants in this area like to take a nap after noon. It happens that the weather is hot, and the big-footed girl and Acai Awang haven't come back yet, so it's convenient for us to do things!"

"As for the poison, why do you need to prepare it? Have you forgotten the treasure that my young master and I fostered with Li Qing?"

Suddenly, Lingbao thought of the young master's pet, and felt a chill down his back on a hot day!

……

Jin Xi took Ah Cai and Ah Wang to the town in a bullock cart.The bullock cart that Jin Xi and the others are riding in belongs to her family.The bullock cart that Liang Yuzhong took when he went to the town in the morning was driven back from the county seat by Sun Yubao and the others when they came to mourn the funeral.

At first, the carriage that Wending gave to Sun Erhu gradually became shared. A few days ago, Sun Yubao and the others took Mrs. Sun to the county town and drove away the carriage.

After arriving in the town, Jinxi went to Sunji and Qianlixiang's shops to check the situation as usual, and then discussed with shopkeeper Zhang about the stocking and pricing in the shop.I didn't even care about eating lunch, so I went outside to do errands on the street.

Because this meeting has reached the end of June in the lunar calendar, and the weather is extremely hot.When it was close to noon, there were basically few pedestrians on the streets outside.Jin Xi went straight to the intersection of the northernmost official road in Changqiao Town.The road was dazzled by the sun, and the birch trees on both sides of the road did not provide any shade at all.

Jin Xi arrives at that intersection, where there are several sheds renting carriages and horses.Jinxi has inquired about almost every shed shop. When the shopkeepers heard that Jinxi is renting a carriage to take people to the capital in such a hot day, the prices are extremely high.From Changqiao Town to the north to the capital, according to the foot strength of these ordinary horses, even if they travel day and night, it will take a month.

What's more, it is impossible to drive on such a starry night, not to mention that the coachman can't bear it, and the horse will be exhausted.Driving during the day and resting at night, the driver's board and lodging, and the horse's food all have to pay extra.Based on Jin Xi's calculations, this trip would cost her 30 taels of silver at least.If there is a bump on the road, it will be extra.

Jin Xi tried her best to lower the price, but the price couldn't be lowered, so she had to leave it like this for the time being, and think of other ways when she goes back.

Cui Xique and Liang Yuzhou had already returned to the shop in the town, and Liang Yuzhong was still busy in the shop for half a day as usual before going back to the village.Jin Xi is afraid of the heat, so she waits until the sun goes down before setting off for home.

Back home, Mrs. Sun and Taozhi were bathing the third and fourth children under the big pagoda tree in the inner courtyard.The two little ones were stripped naked and placed in the water basin. The youngest was treading water vigorously, and there were still fetal blue spots on the little buttocks.The fourth child was even more amusing, letting Taozhi wipe his back, while he was kicking his little feet up and down in the water basin, playing with his little bird with great interest!
Jin Xi suppressed a smile, went forward to help Tao Zhi apply the soap on the fourth child's belly, and helped him to scrub.Since he hadn't seen Liang Yuzhong since entering the house, he asked Sun and Taozhi about Liang Yuzhong's whereabouts.

Jin Xi saw at a glance that Sun's ten fingers were all wrapped with white gauze, and she couldn't help but be surprised.What's the matter?

Sun smiled disapprovingly, and said: "It's nothing, maybe the weather is dry and it's a little cracked."

"Go and rest by Mother's side. If it cracks, don't touch the water easily! I'll wash it for the third child."

"It's not so delicate, it's just a little bit of skin. Hey, yes, after your father woke up at noon, your father sent someone to call him over." Sun took the third child out of the water, sidewalk.

"Master called Dad over, do you want to discuss with him about moving the house?" Jin Xi asked.

Old Liang had been living with Mrs. Tan in the East Wing for decades, but now Mrs. Tan had just passed away, and Liang Yumei disappeared again.The west wing opposite the east wing was originally cleaned up for the maid Xiaocui and two wet nurses brought by Liang Jinlan.After Mrs. Tan passed away, Xiaocui and the two wet nurses did not dare to come and live here, so the inner courtyard of Lao Liang's house suddenly became deserted.

The day after Tan's funeral, Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou were worried that Old Liangtou would not be able to stand the solitude, so Liang Lisheng suggested that Old Liangtou move to the big room in front of him. Liang Lizhi's room had been vacant all the time.At that time, Lao Liangtou did not move out on the grounds that the first seven rooms could not be empty, but stayed in the east wing.Said to wait until the [-]th, let's talk.

"I don't know if it's about discussing about moving the house. I asked Qing to come and call him. After passing the message, Qing turned around and ran away. He didn't wait for me to hold him to inquire." Sun said.

Jin Xi snorted, and the fourth child in her hand was wrapped in the bubbles of fragrant soap. The little guy screamed excitedly when he saw so many bubbles.

"Mother, the master and servant who live in the west wing of the front yard, I went to see their injuries today, and they can almost take a long-distance carriage..." Before Jin Xi could finish speaking, she was slapped by the water spray from the fourth child. After splashing on his face, he quickly turned his face and wiped it with his sleeve.

Here, Mrs. Sun, who was wearing a little red bellyband for the third child, was surprised, and asked, "Girl Xi, we can't do that thing that pushes people away..."

"Mother, don't worry, I have carefully asked Cang Yun's master and servant what they think. Their parents are not far away, and they also said that they are resting, and they want to go home to reunite with their families!" Jin Xi said, yes, she is Drive people out.

"That's right, that's fine. When you're away from home, your parents are still thinking about it when they're at home." Sun felt relieved and asked again: "But their money was cheated by the wet nurse's son, so why did they go back to the capital?" ?”

"I originally wanted to hire a carriage for them. I went to the carriage and stable shop to inquire about it today. The price is too high and it's not worth it!" Jin Xi quickly picked up the fourth child from the water, and stood aside Sitting on the chair with the backrest, the little bellyband was damp from the splash he had slapped earlier, Taozhi went to the east wing to get the little clothes again.

Jin Xi used a big clean veil to wrap the fourth child who looked like a small white frog, only revealing a big round head outside, and said to Sun: "I plan to take Cang Yun away tomorrow. In the county seat, ask Ngawang and Acai to drive our family’s carriage and personally escort Cangyun’s master and servant to the capital.”

Since both parties are willing, Sun has nothing to say, and said with a smile: "Success, then I will leave it to you to arrange, mother, don't worry. Oh, by the way, your father said that he went to the Wang family doctor today. The restaurant said that there is something important to come home to discuss with you!"

Jin Xi nodded, and today she was only focused on finding the carriage, but forgot about going to the Wang Family Medical Center to inquire about Tan's throat disease with Old Doctor Wang.Presumably the important thing Liang Yuzhong wants to say is related to this, right?

Jin Xi takes the little bellyband that Tao Zhi brought, and puts it on the bed of the fourth child, covering his little belly button.He opened a small bamboo tube on the side, picked out a clam oil with his index finger, and spread it evenly on his armpits and inner thighs, where there was some redness.Taozhi moved the two basins of bath water and poured them out, Jinxi and Sun walked around the yard enjoying the cool with their third and fourth children in their arms, fanning cattail leaf fans in their hands to drive away the mosquitoes that come out to feed in the evening.

In the West Wing.

Lingbao stood in front of Cangyun's bed with his hands down, looking at Cangyun with his eyes closed and resting on the bed, Lingbao sighed, sat down on the low stool beside him, and said dejectedly: "Master, Lingbao is really getting better and better. I don't understand, you have never been a person who changes from day to day, how did you change your mind this time?"

While eating breakfast, Lingbao was grateful for Liang Yuzhong's kind treatment during these days, and couldn't bear to see the young master poisoning the poultry and livestock of this family from the bottom of his heart, but the young master was extremely persistent.Well, he can only convince himself that those who do big things don't care about small things, and they can't have the kindness of a woman.And staring at the scorching sun, risking being discovered, sneaked into the willow forest behind the village, where he contacted Li Qing and the others who were lurking in the mountains behind, and explained in detail the details of what he did after lunch .

But before lunch, because Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun entered the West Wing Room, the young master temporarily changed his decision, and asked him to stare at the scorching sun again at noon, went to find Li Qing, and canceled the plan.Back and forth, it's a small matter that Lingbao almost got heatstroke, but the big thing is how can the young master change his order so quickly?This would hinder Young Master Yu's dignity in the army!

Cang Yun didn't bother to open his eyes, and didn't show the slightest displeasure on his face because Lingbao accused him of changing his order every day.On the contrary, the fingers resting on both sides of the body were naturally bent, tapping the bed board lightly one after another.

"Master, those who do big things don't care about small things. You don't think it's because Miss Jin Xi and her parents came over to greet you around lunch time, so you softened and canceled your decision temporarily?" Lingbao asked again tentatively. .

Cang Yun still kept his eyes closed, resting his mind, but his eyelids moved slightly.The voice was a bit cold: "Lingbao, you are accusing me in a disguised form, and you will corrupt me with just a little caressing. You shouldn't have the kindness of a woman, right?"

Lingbao silently lowered his eyes, acquiesced to Cang Yun's words, and said, "Young master, you have always been a person who can distinguish between enemies and enemies. I grew up with you and I have also seen your methods. You have always been vigorous and resolute, and never dragged your feet. , this time, Lingbao was very puzzled and expressed concern."

Lingbao couldn't help but think of the last time the young master settled accounts with Mao Shiba afterwards, because Mao Shiba colluded with the unscrupulous pig dealers in Yunzhou and killed the people.Even though Mao Shiba was brought to justice, the young master still couldn't let him go.Thinking of how the young master dealt with Mao Shiba, Lingbao is still terrified.

Although fearful, but more of anticipation, because the young master is destined to take on great things, as it should be!

Cang Yun sneered, and said: "It seems that during this period of time, the farm dishes here have not only fattened your face, but also your courage. How dare you speculate about my young master's thoughts?"

"Master, Lingbao doesn't dare, Lingbao just feels that you are not as vigorous as before! Didn't you say last time that Miss Jinxi and the others were arrested and used as a threat before Wending appeared within a certain period of time? Is it the bargaining chip for Wending to show up? Now a great opportunity is in front of you, are you shrinking back or are you softening..." Although Lingbao was afraid of Cangyun's coldness in his heart, for the sake of Cangyun's long-term cause, he still had some words. If you risk your life to speak out, even if you know Cang Yun will be very unhappy.

Cang Yun opened his eyes, looked sideways at Lingbao, his eyes were not like the usual playful and teasing, but cold and cold, Lingbao couldn't help shivering, couldn't sit still, stood up with his head bowed.

"How to do it, I have my own discretion. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Cang Yun ordered coldly.

"Young master, if you succeed in everything, you won't often say that you would rather let the world down than let the world down on you? Now that we found out that guy Wending is following, we arrested Miss Jinxi and them The family members will definitely be able to force Wen Ding to show up..."

"Get out!" Cang Yun bit out a word, his gaze suddenly sank, Lingbao didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly left the west wing with his head bowed, and when he turned around and closed the door, something suddenly occurred to Lingbao's mind, His eyes suddenly sank.

In the room, Cang Yun was still leaning against the head of the bed, but his eyes had already been opened.He took out a pair of brand new shoes from behind the pillow, and played with them in front of his eyes.

The shoes in front of me are ordinary blue uppers, the soles are mille-soled shoes that are stitched in one stitch at a time, and a pair of socks are stuffed inside the shoes.The materials used for the shoes are not as good as the expensive ones he used to wear, but it is this pair of ordinary mille-soled cloth shoes that temporarily stopped Cang Yun from poisoning the poultry and livestock. decision.

The scene before lunch reappeared in front of Cang Yun.

Cang Yun was sitting on the bed, habitually waiting for Cai Qingyang to bring the noon meal.The door of the house opened, and Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun walked in through the door, both of them had farmer's simple smiles on their faces.

Liang Yuzhong brought Cang Yun some lunch dishes, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, something happened at home, and I was so busy that I couldn't do my best to take good care of you. This lunch is cooked by your third aunt. All of them are authentic home-cooked dishes from the countryside.”

"Today, the villagers caught a big bream in the ditch by the river in the west of the village. Your third aunt took the best pieces of fish in the middle and grilled them for you. We country people use this big bream for any bruises. It is a good thing to restore vitality."

Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun thought Cang Yun couldn't see them, so they told him about those dishes in detail, and the corner of Cang Yun's eyes had already seen those dishes.I have to say, it is really rich and authentic.

These are not enough to make him change his decision, but there is a dish of grilled bream with green onions, which surprised Cang Yun.

Because, from the first day he moved into Jinxi's house, he told Liang Yuzhong and the others that he never ate fish. Indeed, in the past half month, Liang Yuzhong's house had never given him any fish.

However, in the meal for noon today, there is a grilled bream with shallots.Although the meat of this bream is delicious and delicate, it has many spines all over the body.

Cang Yun remained calm, sat there, and secretly gestured towards Lingbao.Lingbao hurried forward to rescue Cang Yun, and said: "My young master has accepted the kindness of my third uncle and three aunts, big bream is good, but my young master never eats fish, this..."

"Brother Lingbao, don't worry, your third aunt has already pulled out the thorns on this fish, so you can rest assured that Brother Cang can eat it!" Liang Yuzhong said.

Lingbao wanted to stop him again, but Cang Yun waved his hand to stop him, and started to move his chopsticks.Liang Yuzhong personally stepped forward to give him the cloth dish. When Cang Yun took the first bite, he was still trembling with fear. The trauma and shadow left by him in childhood, no matter how powerful he is as an adult, it is difficult to get rid of it with one stroke.

Cang Yun ate the first mouthful in fear, and found that there were really no thorns.With the idea of ​​wanting to overcome the shadow in his childhood, he started the second and third mouthfuls. Almost every mouthful has no thorns, only the delicate and delicious fleshy texture of the bream, coupled with the fragrance of green onions, let him eat after ten years. Years later, it brought back fond childhood memories.

At that time, his biological mother was still alive, and they lived near the water, and they ate fish the most, and he also liked fish.Every time he eats fish, his biological mother will also be like this, patiently pulling out the thorns one by one...

From the corner of Cang Yun's eyes, Liang Yuzhong's smile and the deep relief on Sun's face standing aside were all in his eyes.Until he finished a bowl of fish nuggets, he still hasn't recovered from the fond memories of living by the water with his biological mother when he was a child...

"Brother Cang, this is a pair of cloth shoes I gave you. If you don't mind, you can exchange them for your feet." Sun waited until Cang Yun had finished his lunch, and took out a pair of brand new cloth shoes from behind him. Yun noticed that all ten of Sun's fingers were wrapped with white gauze.

Must have gotten it while plucking the spines of the bream...

A certain place in Cang Yun's heart was suddenly slightly touched.Although it was just a meal of fish and a pair of shoes, they were worthless at all, but behind these two things, Sun and Liang Yuzhong, the honest couple, really put their heart into it.

After he was six years old, he grew up in a wealthy township. Although there were many servants around him, including maids and women, those people always served him with the respect and respect that a servant should have. Only one heart is missing.Before the age of six, he had a biological mother. Although he lived a life of a fisherman by the water, he was very happy and happy.This kind of happiness and happiness, after 14 long absences, I found a little familiar feeling here.

Just because of this familiar feeling, he actually changed himself day and night.

Cang Yun stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and stuffed the shoes that Mrs. Sun had given him under the pillow again, with a look of irritability on his face.

When the night gradually fell, Liang Yuzhong came home.Mrs. Sun brought mung bean soup that had been tempered with well water, and it was placed on the stone table under the big pagoda tree in the yard, and Jin Xi had already started to drink it.

Liang Yuzhong didn't care to wash his face, he just took the handkerchief handed over by Sun and wiped the sweat off his face, then sat down.Mrs. Sun sat down next to him, waiting for him to say something.

"Father, Master came to you to discuss about moving the house?" Jin Xi asked while drinking, the mung bean soup was refreshing and refreshing, it was the best drink to cool off the summer heat.

"Your grandfather doesn't plan to move the house, he said that he and your grandma have slept in that house for most of their lives, and they have feelings for each other, so they are reluctant to move away!" Liang Yuzhong said.

"Your grandfather came to me today to discuss the gift sharing with me." Liang Yuzhong muttered and finished the mung bean soup in the bowl, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, judging by his appearance, he seemed to be in a good mood, because This time, when the old Liangtou was distributing the property, he took the initiative to think of his third wife.

"Participation?" Jin Xi asked, and suddenly realized that it should be the funeral ceremony sent by all relatives when Tan passed away.Now that the matter is almost settled, those old beams who hang the funeral ceremony began to share the four houses equally.

While Jin Xi was pondering over here, Liang Yuzhong had already started talking with Mrs. Sun there.

"...Father means, first add all the things together, rice, cloth, money, and other miscellaneous things, and convert and sell them into money, so that it will be better divided!"

Mrs. Sun nodded and listened, and Jin Xi spoke up: "Father, the division proposed by the master is unreasonable. If it is really such a division, then our family will lose the most. The second uncle's family is the most profitable. Our boss The Liang family is divided now, and relatives in each house have steelyards when they come and go, so don’t you mess up the division of the master, it won’t work, I have to talk about it later.”

Liang Yuzhong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Mrs. Sun, who lowered her eyes and remained silent.Indeed, at the time of the mourning ceremony, Sun's natal family far surpassed those other relatives' families in terms of rice, wheat, clothing, materials and money.As the richest of the relatives, the Yang family, the second wife, gave the most shabby funeral ceremony.

At that time, people in the village were still talking about it!
"Xi'er, Dad also knows that this division is not appropriate. Dad will discuss it with you. Let's turn a blind eye this time, okay? After all, these things are the funeral of your grandma, so don't worry about it. ?" Liang Yuzhong lowered his voice to discuss with Jin Xi.

Jin Xi froze for a moment, but still looked at Liang Yuzhong in puzzlement. Seeing this, Mrs. Sun also stretched out her hand to hold Jin Xi's hand, and said, "Xi'er, mother understands what you mean, don't worry, from now on you will be at Po Po's house. What's the matter, we give gifts according to our own standards, not according to the back-and-forth gifts that your grandfather shared with us."
